Sorry you're going through this ...

It's important to discuss the dreams with your therapist as they also need to be processed along with any other trauma related issues that occur during waking ours.

I found the nightmares & night terrors I'd been having all throughout my childhood, adolescents and adulthood were a direct result of the abuse I'd been living in my whole life.

Once I created me a place of safety and started processing the abuse as well as the nightmares & night terrors with my therapist(s), it all started to get better ... And the bad dreams all but disappeared as well.

I also have found that forgiving our abusers is not necessary at all. Some things are simply unforgivable!

However, it is imperative that we eventually come to terms with what has happened and accept it for what it is so we can move forward and continue to heal.
