My childhood is littered with Child Protective Services coming to my house..
getting in trouble for them coming....

parents receiving letters from CPS...overwhelming fear of being taken into foster care...
Although my home was abusive....its what I knew...and it terrified me to think of being separated from all I know.

Dream:
I had this dream I was back at my Elementary school....and I had written a letter about the stuff my mom and dad were doing to me..and I had gone out to recess..having fun..playing tag..
Then suddenly my teacher came up to me and said "Come with me, we have to go to Mrs. Brown"...
Mrs.Brown was my elementary school principal..she was really nice..

but in the dream...She read the letter and then she said "Ok..you have to pack your stuff up...you are going to foster care"..and I started to panic and I tried to tell her...that the letter wasnt true.I tried to say I was just writing silly things

..but she didnt listen..she just told my teacher to get me ready...and I didnt even cry in the dream I justhad this sense of helplessness...fear...guilt..and utter sadness inside..somewhere really deep inside. I started thinking of my parents in jail..thinking about how it was all my fault...thinknig about never seeing them ever again...about being abandoned and alone... Then I woke up in worst panic and fear ever....



Today I told my T some stuff....about my mom...and i stilll live with my mom...but I told my T my mom isnt hurting me now...just before...
but today when I got home from T..I felt that helplessness....
like my T was gonna callsomebody and CPS was gonna come...
and I felt this fear...inside...I started having a flashback of when CPS came ot my house...

Help I cant shake it off...

flashbacks and scary dreams are ruining my daily life

i am so sorry! that must be horrible, What did your T say when you told them of your dream?
dreams and memories are the hardest things we have to deal with since we just cant push them aside I have no advice to give I can only say it does get better with time and with your T's help you will learn to deal with it.
If you need an ear im here

as far as I know your T cannot tell anyone what is said in your sessions, and only those that you allowed when you signed the HIPA act thing will be allowed with your permission to know anything
you can ask them at your next session and tell them that you want to tell them something but do not wish anyone else to know. tell her that you have to be sure she knows this thing but you need to know for sure she will keep it just between the two of you.
most T understand the need for a person's privacy and respect it, after all when you are with your T you have the right to privacy at least that is my thought on it.

If the client is in danger from others or self the therapist can disclose:

It is a dream, shoez, always remember it is a dream, your unconscious trying to help you deal with difficult subjects. You use to be helpless but now are not and, in addition, your mother does not hurt you anymore. Feelings do not make situations happen, actions do. Because the dream felt real does not mean it has any basis in your day-to-day world now.
