Something pretty personal...but I need help.

Hi ladies. I have found the man of my dreams. But there is a problem. Every time we are intimate I can’t get there. I have PTSD flashbacks of my previous relationship where I was spat on, called names, slapped, and used as an object. I am in therapy and doing all the work, but I need more than just my mom and therapist you know?

If someone else has experienced a trauma like this I’d really love to have someone to relate to. I understand this is a touchy thing and I know I’m not alone but it sure as hell feels like it.

The sex with the man I am with now is beautiful and kind and loving, but the flashbacks are ruining it. I spoke to my SO about the flashbacks but didn’t go into detail. He is 100% supportive of me and is willing to do whatever I ask of him to help me.

I am in therapy 2x a week and my therapist recommended finding a support group. So if there is anyone out there that has been in a situation like this I’d really appreciate the support.❤️
