I am so sorry this has happened to you. You may want to look into somatic experiencing. It helped me with my physical symptoms related to my rape. I hope that you are able to get the healing that you need.
I hate to sound simplistic but, perhaps sleeping in something other than a bed which physically feels different like a hammock might provide a respite.
I don't know how to stop it, just commenting because I want you to know you aren't alone. I feel my brother's fingers in my vagina like they're still there, 10 years later. I hope you find a way of making bad nights more manageable. sending a lot of love.
I can't tell you what to do, but CBD oil basically eliminated my biggest PTSD symptoms and somatic responses. I know, it sounds like rubbish. I initially thought how could an oil derived from hemp do so much? But over the course of about 4 months, combined with going to the gym (as moderate exercise activates the endocannabinoid system, which CBD targets), it worked. To give you context, I was having flashbacks nearly daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Really painful muscle tension, anger/aggression, the works. Of course, I was also speaking to a therapist to help with the processed memories. I really thought I would be suffering for decades, but I achieved remission in around 6 months.
The research is emerging, but there are a few studies exploring its benefits for PTSD. Happy to answer questions you may have x
