I’m going to take this opportunity to ask a question I’ve been wanting to ask Matthew Hussey for a long while.
Like many women, I’m a rape survivor.
Like many women, I feel threatened by the pervasive violence against women in our culture.
I want to be open to romantic love. But between an ordinary fear of rejection, combined with an unfortunately also all too common set of triggers and fears associated with dating, it feels scary.
What are your suggestions?
I want to feel like I can flirt with a hot guy who’s interested in me, without feeling scared or questioning his intentions.
I’ve done so much work to be mentally and emotionally healthy and recovered. How do I move forward with this part of my life?
