Belongs to: Therapist Reacts to Enter Sandman by Metallica @Heartsupport My wife has the most nightmares of anyone I’ve ever met, which we call stress dreams (because it’s always something that could really happen), and I’d love to help her with them. However, I can never find the right words. Any help would be great help.
It’s really heartwarming that you would reach out and try to help your wife like this. And that sucks so much that she is plagued by these types of dreams.

You have such a kind heart for wanting to help your wife through all this. It’s okay if the words can’t come, maybe at some point they will, and when you think it is the right time to say them, you can. But sometimes listening to your wife or hugging and comforting her will create just as much of an impact. You can help her in so many ways and I think that you are starting strong with wanting to. You seem like such a supportive spouse and I hope you realize how amazing you are for wanting to be a great support system for her.
Thanks for reaching out for help! Props to you for looking for resources. Being a shoulder to lean on is just as important as anything and I admire your support for her.
First, I think it’s awesome that you’re out looking for ways to help. If the words don’t come to mind, just listening and acknowledging the feelings your wife is saying is really helpful. You got this, Friend.
Your love and care for her comes through so loudly in this comment! I’m not sure that the words you use are nearly as important as your presence. Sometimes we can’t say or do anything to fix something. All we can do is be a safe space for one another to feel and process their experience. I can tell you are that for her! I hope that the stress dreams end soon for her, but in the meantime, she’s lucky to have such a supportive and caring partner!
I just want to say that I can feel the love and care that you have for your wife. It is strong and it is powerful. I do not know much about something of this nature, but I am sure that you two have a lot of love for each other, and that is incredible. I think there are some medical specialists for these types of things that might be a wonderful route to go as for that side of things, but the other side (showing love and support) I can assure you are doing a wonderful job. Please stay strong, we are always here to listen and support.
