ORIGINAL: medievalbdsm i'd like her to get all this crap out because its not healthy to carry it around. what can i try to help her get over this? we function very well together but i feel she needs to overcome this. I disagree. I'd drop it, definitely for now and likely long term as well. If it were a fear of dogs or something else she'd encounter in everyday life, your idea of getting her used to it would have merit, but she will likely live the rest of her life without anyone slapping her but you. If you persist and I suspect you will, then you want her to get used to her face being touched. Stroke it likely. When she can take that without flinching, tell her "Good girl". Make the strokes a little firmer over time. And for God's sake, take your time in doing this. Overcoming a trigger is NOT something to be done lightly or for no real reason.
