This is the main thing that your emotional and psychological need. Cuddling, or the mere holding hands and hugging in public, allows your brain and body to release the actuated hormones to counter the CPTSD. My wife still is, and even more so back then, clingy. We're compared as negative and positive poles of the magnets. Of course, that goes for my hands as well.All the time. Before sex and after sex. I think we have the same attachment style or something.My ex was definitely covert narcissist with OCD and avoidant.
So, keep her in your mind all the time. It will help.
