I posted this in survivors of abuse forum but thought it should be here too.

I had a dream. An awful horrible dream. Was it based off of reality or completely made up? I haven't had one those dreams in months. I thought it was done. I have to go see my dad, whole family, which is the person it was about. I want to curl up in a ball or get sick or SI something to control my thoughts. I want this to be done.

I am so sorry you had a bad dream that triggered you this way. I have struggled that way myself so I know how frustrating it can be. Sometimes our dreams can seem so real and vivid, but that doesn't mean we are dreaming of an actual event.

I .m having some flashbacks of abuse, that come to me, when i am relaxing like getting ready to go to sleep, and if i don't stop them, it goes on and on about the abuse i suffered when i was 6. I don't know if it is true or not, or if i am imagining it and i don't know whether to tell my T about it or not. If these things are true, my abuse was much worse than i though, as it involves penetration of my body, that i do't consciously remember. I don't want to tell something untrue, so how do i know the difference? Do i tell him about it, or will my T think i am a liar if i turns out it didn't happen?...Besides it is so perveted, i can't bear that these thoughts are from me if it is not true....Help!

You definitely should tell your T. They can help you sort through what is true and what isn't and can help you understand this new knowledge being given to you.
