      After a couple of bad relationships, I have been left with a fear of men, not terrified but really don’t like having them near me. I don’t even like sitting on the sofa at work next to them. How do I get past this? My male colleagues are great guys who I have known for years but I hate to always feel uncomfortable. I’m about to go onto further education so I’ll be in a classroom with guys. I don’t want to have to tell them to stay away from me. I was in furst aid training and had a male practice the himelec (sorry can’t spell) on me and it totally freaked me out. How do I get past this?

      Hi CameraGeek4217,

      Thank you for posting. Bloom might be helpful in exploring this. They offer free online courses created by or in partnership with therapists specialising in trauma. These courses can be accessed in your own time and at your own pace and cover topics such as trauma, abuse and boundaries. You can find Bloom here.

      Best wishes,
