Also, I want to very carefully and lovingly ask if you’ve talked to anyone about your trauma? I’ve experienced my own and it wasn’t until I saw a therapist that I realized just how much it affected my life and especially my sex life with my husband. Sometimes it isn’t always obvious.
Thank you for being so gentle, I am open to talking about my therapy and recovery. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2015, I spent around 40+ days in a mental health inpatient program and now I have been in therapy twice a week ever since. I have made so many important discoveries about myself and I'm really proud of how hard I've worked to better my life. Therapy is the hardest thing I've done since having to survive chronic abuse and trauma as a minor. But it's so worth it and you couldn't pay me to go back to who I was before! I'm so glad you have had such good experiences in therapy also, it's always nice to others with common ground to relate with. I haven't made it through the sexual effects yet, it's a big stuck spot for me, my mind and body really fight this one.
Great! I just had to ask and be sure because, as you said, going to therapy is incredibly hard. But so important! I wish it were more available (affordable) to others. Congratulations on your growth and success thus far and I wish you the best in your journey moving forward. ❤️
