When I was very young (5) I was assaulted multiple times and I never told anyone until two years ago (18). I also had another incident when I was 18.
I was diagnosed with PTSD and I have made great strides and improvements over this period. I've been very successful and I am proud of myself
but when it comes to intimacy and relationships I honestly still feel so terrified and repulsed at times. Due to this over the years my self-esteem and confidence in my body has taken a really big hit. My therapist is awesome and has helped me so very much though.
I guess maybe this is a impossible ask. But I was wondering if people had felt this way and what were ways that they did to overcome this and create a sense of body positivity? I know there is no rush and this will take baby steps but being able to listen to people who have had similar experiences is something I have lacked in my recovery.
Thank you and take care.
