writes: Since I finally got out of an abusive relationship about 18 months ago, I tend to feel trapped and run in the early stages of any new relationship. A few days ago I slept with a guy from work and I felt ok about it because I thought he was a bit of a player. But since then, we've been spending a lot of time together and really starting to click. So it turns out he's not the guy I thought he was - instead he's really sweet and genuine. The problem is, today I am starting to get that trapped feeling again. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? I don't know if I should talk to him about it or keep trying to breath deep and calm myself down all the time (doesn't work very well!)... or maybe something else?

If you are in a metropolitan area or a large town there may be some counselling available for you, contact your GP and see what they can suggest.
