Dealing with PTSD in a New Relationship

So my PTSD comes from a few things including a past relationship. I am in a new relationship now and he is a great guy, but sometimes I have flashbacks for no reason and I am caught up in being scared of him...How do I stop this?

i get that. it can be hard to trust anyone again after that. if he knows about the flashbacks, sometimes even just telling him that one is happening or what to expect if one is can be helpful. like telling them "hey, when this is happening i don't like to be touched" or something like that. eventually, as he listens to you and respects your boundaries, you'll start feeling safe around him and that fear will go away. i hope this helps, that's my experience but everyone is different ❤️
