When Trauma Shows Up In Your Nightmares
from Pain Repurposed · host Amanda Rector
Nightmares can feel confusing, unsettling, and sometimes even more exhausting than being awake. In this episode, I talk about how trauma can surface through our dreams, why the nervous system uses sleep to process what we haven’t had space to feel, and how nightmares aren’t a sign that you’re broken, but that something inside you is trying to be understood. If you’ve ever woken up shaken, emotional, or carrying a feeling you can’t quite explain, this conversation is for you.Disclaimer:I am not a medical or mental health professional.
