Can someone tell me what does sexual trauma feels like? I am in a really sexually fulfilling relationship but sometimes when my parter tries to do the same things which my ex did, I sort of get to experience some sudden heart throbbing (might be called as anxiety) so I tried touching myself just to test if I get the same feeling and to my surprise I started getting flashbacks and same heart throbbing and a lot of times it has caused me multiple breakdown and overwhelm mess. Can someone please explain is this a trauma response if yes then how do I cope up with it and if not then what is it???
With what I’ve seen and experienced, this is sexual trauma where the flashbacks come back when you’re in a similar situation even though you’re with the person you are comfortable with.
You have to talk it out with your partner or consult a professional who can help you overcome this.
I have talked it out with my partner and he says that I just need to get it out of my head and I try really hard to get it out of my head but I am not able to do so, I mean it is not a consistent feelings but it does come in waves :)
Your partner won’t understand to such an extent because boys don’t comprehend how much it impacts a girl. I’m a man too and I too realized I was understanding my girl to a certain extent which was true, nevertheless, I was not fully able to understand her. A professional might come handy.
