Out of toxic relationship, met dream guy but I’m still walled up what do I do?

I got out of a mentally and abusive 2 year relationship about 2 months ago, I wasn’t planning on meeting anyone new for a long while but this guy came into my life and he’s literally everything I could want, he is so sweet kind respectful and makes me laugh so much. I’m falling for him so so hard, but I’m still walled up from my last relationship that I’m struggling to fully connect emotionally. This new guy understands and is being patient and supportive. I just don’t know how to fully let go of my old relationship and heal. I’m just in this weird situation where I’m basically dating this new guy but I keep having emotion blocks where I just can’t reciprocate the same amount of love he is giving because of how heart broken I was with my ex. Any tips on what to do or will it just fix itself with time?

Be friends first. You do not have to rush into a relationship. You give that to God and allow Jesus to help you in those areas. Right now your not in any position for a relationship. You just got out of a relationship and rushing to date somebody just isn't smart. If you are sexually active, especially if you were a virgin, that is where it makes it harder to move on. Emotionally you tend to have similar issues, but you can learn to slowly detach from such things from those toxic people. But once you make it physical and sexual, AND the emotional. That's it. That is something that God had said you only do in a marriage. And sadly that is not a legal marriage according to laws. But when you have sex you create a marriage, but it may be illegal. The only thing you can do is take as much time as you need. If this guy truly cares, then no matter if it's months or years from now, he will stick around. If he is quick to leave, then you know what kind of person you attracted.

You should not let relationships of the past affect current relationships. Everyone is their own person and deserves their own chance. Don't use the excuse of an emotional wall or "you've been hurt in the past" to prevent yourself from diving head first into something new. Immerse yourself in the new feelings and experiences you now have the chance to have with in a new relationship. Wishing you happiness and success!
