I like the comment up top, they said they knock on the wall so they dont jumpscare their partner. I like that. It’s stuff like that makes a difference. I have C-Ptsd, go to therapy weekly (for years) but I’ll forever be jumpy and scare easily. My part is not getting upset when it happens, my partner’s part is doing stuff like that, knocking or speaking when entering a room, ie, when I’m doing the dishes its really easy to sneak up on me, so my partner makes an effort to try and not sneak up on me when I’m task focused.
Its also stuff like not getting mad when I say, “hey I know this might be irrational, but you’re not mad at me right now?”. Some people that pisses off, but just offering a quick reassurance goes miles.
