⚠️ ANTICIPATORY ANXIETY

One of the things I hear repeatedly in work around intimacy and s*xual trauma is anticipatory anxiety.

Not necessarily fear of touch, closeness, affection, or intimacy itself, but fear about where it might lead.

The pressure to continue.
The fear of disappointing somebody.
The fear of having to say no.
The fear of conflict, guilt, shutdown, or going along with something beyond your limits.

Sometimes people begin avoiding intimacy altogether, not because they do not want closeness, but because their body no longer fully trusts that connection will remain safe, negotiable, mutual, or emotionally manageable.

I think rebuilding intimacy often involves slowly rebuilding trust with yourself too. Learning to notice:
What feels like yes?
What feels like no?
What feels like maybe?
What feels like pressure?
What feels like genuine desire?

In my work, I often use practical somatic tools to help people begin exploring these things more safely and clearly, such as intimacy and connection menus that support people in identifying what feels comfortable, uncomfortable, uncertain, negotiable, or wanted, whilst helping create more open communication and choice within relationships.

Importantly, consent and comfort are ongoing conversations, not fixed agreements, and people remain in choice throughout that process.

🫶🏼 it’s never JUST about s*x …

What would intimacy feel like if it was not something you feared, performed, or felt pressure to achieve?

Not a goal to reach.
Not something measured by performance, or**sm, or expectation.

But something embodied, negotiated, and safe enough for you to remain present within yourself too.

🏳️‍⚧️ PRIDE IS A PROTEST 🏳️‍🌈

Pride is a protest, but it looks like a celebration.

Historically, it has always been both.

Pride holds grief and joy simultaneously.

Grief for what is criminalised, pathologised, what is hidden, denied, lost, and at risk of equal rights being taken away, depending on what political party is in power and what country you live in.

Joy and celebration is the protest because it is the opposite of oppression.

Visibility.
Belonging.
Community.
Pleasure.
Joy.
Love.

These are not random themes.

They are some of the very things that LGBTQIA+ people have historically been denied or shamed or excluded from or told that we should hide, which is why joy matters.

Not because it erases grief, but because when people are told they should be ashamed, silent, invisible, or denied equal rights, or to even be alive and open about their identity, celebration is more than celebration, it is reclamation.

Joy is not separate from the protest, it is the protest.

Happy Pride 🌈

⛔️ WHAT IF WE DON’T KNOW

One of the things I have noticed repeatedly in working primarily with survivors of s*xual trauma is that sometimes the difficulty is not simply saying no.

Sometimes people are no longer fully sure how to recognise, interpret, trust, or stay connected to what their body is actually communicating in the first place.

What is a yes?
What is a no?
What is a maybe?
What is people pleasing?
What is a fawn response?
What is genuine desire?
What is fear, obligation, guilt, shutdown, or conflict avoidance?

If through experience, relationships, trauma, family dynamics, or wider social conditioning, saying no has felt unsafe, ignored, punished, emotionally costly, or has led to disconnection, it can make sense that many people learn to override themselves.

And this often does not only appear in s*xual relationships.

It can show up in:
agreeing to plans when exhausted, taking on additional work when already overwhelmed, struggling to decline requests, saying yes automatically, hugging people out of obligation, tolerating touch you do not want, or finding yourself unable to tell the difference between discomfort and desire.

I think rebuilding trust with yourself and slowly learning the language of your body can become fundamental in recognising what genuinely feels like:
yes
no
maybe
not yet
I need more information
I need more time
I changed my mind

And then there is the separate process of learning how to communicate those things with other people whilst also navigating the emotions, fear, guilt, shame, or nervous system responses that can arise alongside it.

This is one of the reasons I value somatic work alongside talking therapy. Sometimes people do not only need intellectual insight. Sometimes they also need support reconnecting with the felt experience of themselves underneath adaptation, survival, fawning, and self-override.

🌀IDENTITY GRIEF

Growth and becoming more true to yourself involves layers of grief.

Sometimes it is grieving versions of yourself you love that evolved.

Parts that changed when you did not expect them to.

Parts built around survival, belonging, protection, expectation, or who you needed to be at the time.

And grief for what is lost as we grow and change through life.

Not everything, or everyone, is destined to stay with us forever.

There can be sadness in realising some parts of us worked very hard to keep us safe, connected, loved, or accepted, even when those versions no longer fully fit.

Grief for experiences we never had.
Grief for experiences we did have that changed, ended, or were lost.

Grief for parts of ourselves that were never fully expressed.

I’ve also noticed that our growth will not always align with the people we care about.

Becoming more ourselves, or in therapy language developing a stronger internal locus of evaluation and becoming more congruent, can sometimes involve grief within relationships too.

Friends, colleagues, family, romantic partners.

Our becoming will not always feel easy for the people around us either, and I think that can add another layer of grief and complexity around identity and change, particularly for LGBTQIA+ people.

A growing number of people are also coming out later in life, often after years of living according to expectation, masking parts of themselves, or following paths that once felt safer, more acceptable, or more understandable within the world around them.

This can apply more broadly to many cisgender heteros*xual women conditioned towards compliance, emotional labour, self-sacrifice, and prioritising belonging over authenticity.

And for many neurodivergent people, or those entering peri/menopause, there can sometimes be a shift where continuing to mask, tolerate, or override themselves in the same ways becomes much harder. Often bringing a stronger awareness of needs, limits, exhaustion, identity, or relational patterns that had previously been pushed down or adapted around.

🌱 IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT

Perhaps “finding yourself” is less about becoming someone new and more about noticing what already felt true underneath years of conditioning.

We absorb so many ideas about who we are supposed to be through family, relationships, schools, media, religion, culture, gender roles, and the lives we see reflected around us.

If only certain ways of living are normalised, visible, rewarded, or considered acceptable, it can be difficult to imagine yourself outside of them.

It wasn’t that long ago that LBGRTQIA+ identities were still criminalised, pathologised. Those things shape people. Social conditioning does not disappear overnight.

Listening to speaking recently about q***r identity development really resonates and was something I witnessed in myself and many of my clients journeys also.

Particularly the idea that identity is not always one sudden moment of knowing.

Sometimes it can be a slow process of noticing yourself underneath expectation, adaptation, belonging, and survival.

It brings me back to my previous post about what feels true?

🏕️ What feels true to you?

There was a point where I realised I could no longer hear myself clearly underneath everybody else’s expectations, needs, opinions, fears, and ideas of who I was supposed to be.

So I left for a few days on my own with no real plan beyond driving to the New Forest.

Just me, my tiny car, a tent, a blanket, some old noodles found in the cupboard, tarot cards, my journal, and my guitar. It was spontaneous, I was unprepared, it felt kind of primal, and I needed that rawness of sitting with myself without any creature comforts.

Beyond knowing I needed space, quiet, and distance from everything I was trying to hold together.

I spent those days mostly sitting with my own thoughts, trying to untangle what actually felt true to me underneath years of adaptation, responsibility, conditioning, survival, and trying to be who I thought I needed to be in order to stay loved, accepted, safe, or needed.

In person-centred therapy, this is sometimes understood through the idea of “conditions of worth.”

The ways we can begin shaping ourselves around approval, belonging, expectation, or survival, often becoming disconnected from our own feelings, needs, limits, desires, or sense of self in the process.

I don’t think this untangling happens overnight. I think for many people it can be slow, layered, confronting, uncomfortable, grief-filled work.

One of the questions I come back to week on week, both personally and in therapeutic work with clients, is:

Does that feel true to you?
Does that feel like yours?

Sometimes reclaiming yourself begins there.
In the working out of what even feels like yours to begin with.

🏳️‍🌈 TERRIFYING FACT …

It was only in 1990 the World Health Organisation REMOVED homos*xuality from the International Classification of Diseases.

Only 36 years ago, LGBTQIA+ identities were still officially classified as a disease.

Before then, q***r people were medicalised, pathologised, criminalised, institutionalised, subjected to horrific treatments including conversion therapy, and treated as though their existence was something wrong to be cured.

❌Conversion therapy is still legal in the UK today!

Thirty-six years is not a long time societally.

The impact of oppression, discrimination, shame, rejection, criminalisation, and systemic violence does not simply disappear because a policy changes.

It takes generations and active efforts to change and unlearn behaviours and often bring what is subconscious to conscious awareness so we can see when we have bias.

It shapes families, communities, institutions, education, healthcare, media, legislation, and the way people learn to see themselves and each other.

Many LGBTQIA+ people are still experiencing discrimination, shame, rejection, violence, and fear today, with hate crimes against q***r and trans communities having risen significantly in recent years.

Trans people in particular are currently facing enormous levels of discrimination, which has a very real human impact.

IDAHOBIT is not just about visibility. It is about remembering the cost of oppression, honouring the people who fought and continue to fight for change, and recognising that equality, safety, dignity, and liberation are still ongoing struggles for many people.

As somebody who is q***r and works predominantly with LGBTQIA+ clients, including many trans people, I see the emotional weight of that discrimination regularly.

Was We still have a long way to go in creating a society where people are safe to exist as themselves without fear, shame, or violence.

⚡️I WRITE

Sharing but might delete later 🙈

I find writing therapeutic. I dislike journaling but need somewhere to put the feeling and thought I have. Mostly around things that are hard.

I seemed to have clocked up quite a lot of poetry. It’s mostly about coming out, sapphic love and heartbreak and the occasional one about other life experiences I’ve had.

Some people I love told me it was alright so I decided to share it via substack - same handle.

The inner child and dyslexic in me that was s**t at English in school has a secret dream of having a book out one day.

Maybe it will be Sapphic poetry … anyway maybe you’ll like it, maybe you won’t.

I’ll be over here trying not to care but secretly hoping you will find some resonance and it might move you a little.

Enjoy … or not 😉

I’m working on giving less f***s and being more authentic - I’m still a work in progress too.
