Re: Bad Dreams Keep Coming
The standard advice that you will be offered by any professional will be that you should put their services to use, AND that you should do this regardless of the absence of any SPECIFIC reasoning that you should do so (fishing expedition). They have spent YEARS and thousands of dollars gathering their expertise, and forums like this are counterproductive to their needs and self-esteem. Don't get me wrong, professionals are a tremendous help in COMPLICATED situations, but yours does not (in the least) seem to be a complicated situation. The purpose of this forum is to offer each of us the opportunity to take charge of our health. Once your husband can see past his macho ultimatums, you should be able to sit down with him and come to a REASONABLE and LOVING UNDERSTANDING of each other so that you stop having those dreams. I didn't say "Agreement", I said "understanding", because your relationship is not a business relationship, it is a marriage AND a family. Marriage counseling MIGHT be warranted, but, you don't need to disable yourself by convincing yourself that you are a "sick puppy". You are a mother, let your husband be your therapist. I don't know what it would have been like if, as I was growing up, my mother was going to therapy. The first thing is...BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and take charge of your health.
