I have really bad anxiety regarding intimacy. I am horrified all the time and afraid of my own fantasies. I was hurt once ten years ago and cannot do anything ever since. I am in long relationship, person I love is trustworthy and gentle. How do I overcome my fears?

You dont have to force yourself to overcome it in a day right now I can just suggest you to talk to your partner and be honest to yourself and as questions like "why you feel this way" and "how it affects you" a bit of introspection i suppose. And take baby steps like being more honest with your partner, holding hands etc. I think in this situation your partner could help you the best
