Awesome post Falcon and i would add one thing : Pay attention to anytime you get a bad feeling, say you question someones remark as odd, or you feel like you have been snake-oiled ie: you tell some one you are uncomfy with something and they soothingly smooth talk you by saying "that is how you are supposed to feel sweetheart", or "you are just new pet" or something along the lines of not listening to you because they know better. Do not forget you are having those feelings for a reason: millions of years of natural selection evolution culminating at that moment as a weird feeling or as common sense...depending on how your body speaks to you. You have the right to stop and take a breath, this might be 10 seconds or 10 months but you have the right to wait until you feel better before proceeding. I know those feelings are easy to over ride, or to under value, because the feelings of anticipation, nervousness, and sexual arousal are very similar feelings and are also swirling in your head at the same time, but try to distinguish between the two. One way to do this is to quiet yourself, close your eyes and check in.. There have been a number of studies, and stories and even a documentary on people who have had traumatic events from, kidnapping, rape, axe bludgeoned, well you get the gist...and when asked later almost all of them said there was a gut feeling they ignored. I know that trusting my intuition has saved my life more then once.
