So, I have been panicking for the last couple days about my session with my therapist today. I had been avoiding her sessions for a while and today was the day that I was going to pluck up the courage and just be honest with her. I was, and it was really great and really productive.
I told her about my nightmares and flashbacks and that I think what happened is affecting me more than she originally thought. She listened and took it in and she's going to arrange for me to talk to someone else for a couple sessions as they have more experience than she does in regards to flashbacks and trauma. I'm pleased with how it went. It's a massive change from how the sessions used to go which often consisted of me talking about friends or the weather, nothing significant anyway. But this time I actually opened up and told her about the important things that have really been going on.
I feel a bit iffy about talking about the hard things, like the flashbacks and what they were (vaugely anyway), and obviously the dreams and such. But I'm pleased with how it went overall.
Yay! Fingers crossed this wasn't just a one off.
