my girlfriend is really embarrassed about something pretty minor (23m/f)

My girlfriend and I have been dating for a few months. She was in an abusive relationship when she was 16-19 and goes to therapy. Sometimes, it affects our relationship but we've been okay so far.

My girlfriend spent the night and got her period. She only stained the sheets a little, no big deal. Apparently the same thing happened when she was in her old relationship and her ex rubbed her face on the dirty sheets.

All day, she's been flinching every time I move too quickly or come to close to her. I feel really bad. What can I do to help her feel better?

TL;DR My girlfriend bled on sheets and is freaking out because of a bad past relationship. How can I help her?
