Do what's best for you 🕯️ Sometimes I'm stressed

My friend showed me this.
"A survivor at war with his body cannot be its defender. A survivor still feeling unentitled to say no cannot afford to say yes. A survivor choosing partners out of
trauma-bonding to the original abuse will be in continuing danger, and a survivor who relives rape with every sexual touch is not yet safe enough to explore."
And it's right and I fucking hate it.
Sometimes I find it difficult to know I'm loved when this* is a factor in the relationship.
*this- although assumably caused by the trauma, I am referring to sex in general.
