Is it possible to overcome the fear and resentment from been in a DV relationship? I want to meet someone nice and have a good long term relationship but find it hard to trust and am always withdrawn and shut myself away now and it ends up driving men away I want to have that confidence to walk into a relationship and be able to enjoy it but every time a guy even goes to even hug me a flinch and then they get the impression its them but I'm just finding it very difficult to overcome that fear from a past relationship that left me very emotionally and physically traumatized: ( some help please, thanks.
