Here for me this time around

She’s not difficult. She’s just protective of her peace.

When a submissive’s been through enough hurt, she doesn’t hand over trust easily.
She studies your tone.
She pays attention to how you react when she’s vulnerable.
She notices the difference between control and care.

Don’t call her guarded and then give her more reasons to be.
Show her what safety feels like.

When she sees consistency, her walls start to lower on their own.
When she feels peace, obedience stops feeling like risk.

That’s when the real dynamic begins.
Not when she submits, but when she finally feels safe enough to.
