How can I get over my trust issues?

hey everyone, I really hope that someone might be able to help me because I feel so sad and don‘t know what to do anymore.

My last relationship was pretty bad. my ex boyfriend cheated on me many times and always blamed it on me so I ended up feeling very insecure. I have a new boyfriend now. We‘ve been together for about 8 months. Before we started dating I knew that he talked to a lot of girls, followed a lot of girls on social media etc. I also often felt like he checked other women out but I‘m not sure if I‘m just thinking that because I‘m insecure or if it is true. he is very loving and I know that I mean everything to him. However, I often have bad dreams about him cheating on me and things like that. I often feel like I am not enough for him and I am so scared of him liking other girls more than me. One time I found a nude picture of an instagram model on his phone. I cried and he apologized, saying he just sent it to someone as some sort of joke and told me it won’t happen again and it hasn’t happened since then. I still think about it though.

I really want to trust him though and I don‘t want to lose him because of my insecurities. I‘ve talked to him about it but I don‘t want to do that too much because it might drive him away I think. Please help me, how can I be more trusting? thank you so much. 🤍
