Hey Skybark, sorry for the confusion.

My boyfriend has triggered me in the past, in the last 3 years he has, but i've never mentioned it to him. My psychiatrist told me to let him keep doing a certain touch that triggered to know it was safe and that wouldn't be a trigger anymore, did that make sense?

I told him recently that he has triggered me, and when he grabbed my arm to lead me outside to the back deck, he asked if he did this time. I got defensive and asked him, why are you trying too? And he said no.

When I mentioned this to my Psychiatrist she told me it was a postive thing that he asked that, because he doesn't want to trigger. This all happened about a week ago because for some reason I was talking about the past with him.
