I wasn’t in the mood one night and told my new partner “no” he respected it and just played with my back instead… I burst into tears as I was just waiting for the repercussions of saying no and it didn’t come. It has made me feel so safe with him and it was the first time in nearly 10 years I have felt safe saying no.

My trauma flipped me the other way. Guess how it makes sense how much it affects everyone differently! Thank you for being open x

Girl I absolutely love your videos I won’t go into any details but me and my partner have been through abuse in the past and the intimacy we started to have each other it was the first time for both of us that we finally felt safe to be ourselves and to say no if we felt uncomfortable and whether we do or not we will always have a conversation, cuddle, back tickling or something stimulating and we will never take that for granted 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️

I’m the same. I feel bad sometimes when I flinch from my partners touch. Healing can be super hard sometimes. ❤️❤️❤️

I’ve just come across your videos this evening & you’ve gained a follower! I’m never one to usually comment, but I’d like to say, you are one extremely brave woman and so self aware. It’s amazing to see that you’ve managed to come out the other side of all the awful experiences you’ve had to endure. Sending love from one Yorkshire lass to another x
