   Moving On Without Closure After a Breakup With Someone You Trusted

   What is making us need closure so much that it’s preventing us from moving forward and developing healthy relationships? Is it because we truly want to know what we did wrong so we don’t repeat it? Or is it because we want to validate the stories we’ve created in our heads to justify certain events? Or is it a way for us to seek confirmation bias, which could be self-destructive and make us believe that we are awful people—when actually, we aren’t?

   Learning to Feel Safe in Pleasure, Connection & Intimacy After Trauma

   So, why does trauma complicate intimacy? We frequently blame intimacy issues on poor relationships or low self-esteem, but in many circumstances the underlying cause is a lot more complex. Sometimes past trauma might have absolutely nothing to do with intimacy or sex per se. What past trauma may do is leave lingering feelings related to a difficulty in opening up—not only with others, but with ourselves. This has proved to be the case with many people I've talked to, and in my personal experience as well.

   Dissociating, people-pleasing, and claiming your space with healthy boundaries

   Most people are aware of the “fight or flight” response, but there are two others that are not talked about nearly as much. Those are the freeze and fawn responses. If you’ve ever felt responsible for other people’s emotional response or the obligation to say yes to something when deep down you wanted to say no, that may be the fawn response speaking through you.
