your body may just not be ready even if your mind is. and that’s okay. don’t push yourself. take it a little bit at a time maybe or simply waiting until you’re ready. ik you’ll work through this one day 💗

Communicate the boundaries that make you feel comfortable and safe and maybe try having a talk with them about your triggers if you’re aware of them
