Can you get trauma from nightmares?
A little backstory, i’m a 16 year old girl and I have (c)ptsd. My usual is 3 to 4 nightmares a week but it’s been happening more lately (maybe bc ive been sleeping more). Another change is that it’s not just about my trauma, it’s also about what if’s and things that I’ve never imagined/seen/thought about before but now that I’ve lived it in nightmares it absolutely terrifies me and i think about it a lot + avoid certain things.
I’ve written about it before but feel like i need to talk about it again….
