dealing with bad dreams

dd2 was sexually assaulted in August 2003, days before her 3rd birthday, by an 8 year old boy.
She is still suffering nightmares where, she says, the boy asks her to lick his willy.
How can I help her move on? She doesn't want to talk to anyone else "who could help get rid of the bad dreams"
A counsellor from the NSPCC were very helpful (for me) at the time, but I know she was leaving at the end of the summer and I don't want to go through everything with someone new. I don't know what else to do. My heart broke 16mths ago, what can I do to help her? She sleeps on our floor now - not ideal but her needs come 1st... only I don't think this is good for her in the long run.
please help.

So sorry to hear this. Absolutely no advice I'm afraid, just wanted to send [[[hugs]]] to you and your little girl.
