After months of finally working up the courage to tell my therapist that I (26 female) sometimes wet the bed when I have nightmares about childhood abuse I told her today. I really wanted to get this out as it brings so much shame and feels that it hinders my ability to date. I thought telling her would help. So that leads to today. Of course with the deep shame this carries I was crying and had a hard time getting it out. She looked shocked when I told her and stated she had never heard of this happening in an adult before only children. She told me this was abnormal and not related to trauma and needed to get it checked out by a doctor. I have already brought it up to my PcP who did testing and was normal. I now feel like an idiot as I really thought it was. She seemed really shocked and now I’m so embarrassed. Not sure I ever want to go back.

TL;DR told my therapist about bedwetting and it went poorly
