Advice needed. How do I explain to my therapist I’ve been waking up screaming/in anxiety attacks with nightmares of someone I know hurting me and SA me but as far as I know it’s never happened in real life

You could send her an email or text saying you want to talk about some bad dreams you’re having

It just feels so weird to talk about bc it’s someone I know and love who I know would never hurt me and also a female in my dreams. so I’ve just been scared to bring it up

Just know you can give as many details as you want to, you don’t have to say anything you don’t feel comfortable with. My therapist still doesn’t know about all my family drama that’s happened since I started seeing her (it’s a lot and I needed to process by myself)
