"Ah!" A scream came from the second bedroom, and Xiao Qian put down her cup and walked into the room to see Weiwei sitting on the bed, covered in cold sweat.
"Sister Meiwei! He's there, he's right there!" Weiwei pointed to a corner of the room as if she were terrified.
Xiao Qian went over and hugged her, patting her gently.
"It's okay, it was just a dream."
What Weiwei is experiencing now is called a flashback. When normal people encounter trauma, they would repeatedly replay the traumatic scene in their minds for a period of time. During this time, Weiwei would not only have nightmares, but would also scream when others touch her, which are all reactions to flashbacks.
For women who have been subjected to violence, especially young women, they would be in a state of depression or numbness for a long time. If professional psychological counseling is not timely, the damage could last a lifetime.
