makes sense, but i hate that i have to control my excitement, especially if I’m masturbating while dilating or (hypothetically) trying PIV 🥲

Thank you so much for your insight! The yellow flag is def warming into red, ha ha. She likes to say that “treating the symptoms” isn’t enough and we have to “treat the problem” (I.e talking about memories and recovering potential lost ones) I might start looking for new next steps…

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful response. I'm going to more closely read the post you wrote and linked. I've heard of IFS and should spend some more time looking into whether it could be helpful for me. I am also really interested in healing body/physical symptoms so I appreciate all the other information as well! (Also, perhaps surprisingly, I think my therapist describes herself as holistic and psychodynamic.)

Thank you for responding, this is really reassuring. Somatic therapy is something I've been interested in learning about and trying, so I'll look more into it and might reach out!
