Looking for mental help for my Wife....?

I will try to make this short, but trying to look for some support for my wife. She is 32 now and was sexually abused by her uncle and others while in foster care when she was young. Her mother, who is bi-polar, still talks to the uncle who abused her and it bothers my wife. She has since spoken to her mother about how it makes her feel and I think that helped.

But now my wife is having nightmares about the uncle who sexually abused her. She is also seeing him in the middle of daytime out of nowhere and it is scaring her. She has been to see a pyschologist and will continue to do so. But can anyone give her any advice on how she can stop dreaming and seeing her uncle and getting scared?

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Any advice?

Thanks!

She has got to do the grief work with her psychologist. She has got to cry and scream and get angry enough to get her feelings for this man out side and in the open. I have done grief work also and it is not easy but it must be done. Some suggestions are using a journal to discuss her feelings with herself and also a guide to help in her therapy sessions, writing letters to this uncle and pouring all the pain and anger she can into them and then burning them, she can write as many as she needs to as often as she needs to, creating an effigy (like in voodoo but without the religion) and everytime she dreams or has any kind of emotional pain she can squeeze it, bite it, hit it etc, anything to give her a sense of power over this man. I hope some of this helps and that your wife can get to a place where this man no longer has control of her life (emotionally). I hope you can hang in there with her because it is a long and painful road ahead. Good luck

well it has happened to me....i am presently seeking medical help form my doctor. I am on a medication for it.

She should take legal action. Whats wrong with people???!!!! Tell her to get a restraining order. Or move away.
