Hi Britney

I guess, I’ve always dated other people who have their own traumatic experiences. So no one has really judged me.

I’ve always I always dated people after being friends with them for a while first and been open about my PTSD. No, I’ve never taken a partner to my individual therapy. I hear that some people do if they have something that they want to discuss.

Is there a reason that you are asking these questions? Do you have any concerns about these things in your own life? ❤️

Dear Britney (in case you’re still reading):

Your questions feel like they come from a place inside you that’s been hurt— shaped by experiences that still carry pain. They read to me like:

“I want to be honest about what I carry, but I don’t want to lose people because of it.”

“I’ve been hurt before by sharing too much too soon… and I don’t know how to get it right.”

“I want someone who’s willing to be close to me in my pain—not just put up with it from afar.”

If any of that rings true, just know you’re not alone. I hope to read from you, but even if you’re not ready to post again, your voice mattered. You were heard.
