I actually chatted with my partner about this last night, which helped a lot. Also realized that part of it was on me for being afraid to ask for closeness and feeling ashamed of wanting stuff that felt needy (when it isn’t). This helped me be calmer when we went to bed. I think now the main thing to focus on is retraining myself that bed is a safe place/time. It feels daunting, and I’m concerned I can’t do it. But at the same time, I know I can. I just need patience with myself. (This all feels like I’m on the right track, but perspective welcome.)
