How can I create a safer space for my boyfriend to open up to me about his SA?
Hey so me F18 and my bf M19 have been together for 2.5 years and to make things brief, I had SA experiences when I was younger and ive been able to talk to him about it, but i heard he talked to my brother about his own and I just feel like crap because I never wanted my stuff to overshadow his, and when I tried asking him about it (I didnt talk about my brother, I asked him if we could talk about something that might be a sensitive topic for him) and he was very open with talking to me and telling me, based on how it was going, but he very clearly had a mental block or a trauma block or something because he told me he thinks he see something in his memory, like he sees scenery from it, but every time he tries to remember what was happening he says its like a black sheet is dropping over his eyes.....
Yall please dont recommend therapy, were working on it were trying to get on our feet.... but I just want to make a mutual safe space for him to be able to remember
