    Excellent point. Allowing space for reflection and self discovery is important.

      It’s tough because she has a lot of trauma too. Sometimes there’s power imbalance caused by perception and trauma, wherein she feels like even if I say she should speak her mind, I’ll get upset if she does. Vigilance is necessary to regain balance. ^^

        Yep, trauma is a powerful beast. My partner has also been working on this and she’s made some amazing progress. Despite that, she still recognizes the triggers are still there and works through them
