    Boundary violation

    Nightmare being attacked

    I keep having nightmares about being sexually attacked. I do have sexual trauma from when I was 13 but these dreams don't really resemble the actual trauma. Is this a thing?

    Worried she doesn't like me

    Childhood Child trauma "not enough"

    I feel like I haven't been through enough to justify how I feel from day to day. I have made a lit for my T of things that happened me but I am scared to let her read it because I feel like I am a huge faker. Anyone else feel like that? I am almost tempted to find an online T to ask if its...
