I made the mistake of watching Dr. Phil yesterday and had a major nightmare last night. I dreamed it, felt it, experienced it and still get the shiveres every time I think about the dream. I talked about it in therapy today and my T told me that I am not to watch anything real intense for awhile. Both regarding the topic and also anything just intense. I think its a good idea. I went to watch my favorite show tonight and got to thinking it was a bad idea and think I'm just going to watch fluff for awhile until the bad feelings go away.

I would highly recommend limiting TV while you are still so sensitive. I had to stop watching TV for months because even commercials would trigger me sometimes. A thought for you about the nightmare... ...if you could fly into the nightmare with super powers, how would you make it end differently? Try (if you can) to imagine yourself taking control of the dream, and ending it in a way you are comfortable with. If this is too uncomfortable to even think about -- just be kind to yourself, and get a nice cup of tea or something that is comforting. Many warm and loving thoughts headed your way!

Thanks guys for your responses. I have kind of come to terms with the nightmare. The sad part is it involves someone I have to deal with on a daily basis so it makes it hard. I am staying to myself and I know that's not always a good thing but it's self preservation right now.

Arg.
Yes. Would be good to stay away from the TV for a while until you think that you'd be able to cope. HUGS!
