I'm 21 and was sexually abused by a parent from ages 15-19. I struggle with feelings of getting attached too quickly to new girlfriends and it has scared one away and made a breakup with another who turned out to be lesbian so painful. After knowing my last gf for 3 weeks, when we would FaceTime I would occasionally hold my stuffed animal and ask her to sing to me.
This is obviously from feeling inadequately protected. Is this common amungst abuse survivors and what can be done to habituate this?
