I had an idea...
What if this 'issue' isn't about touch at all?
Perhaps you feeling the need for touch is a symptom, but not the cause of the issue?
I wonder if you were able to talk to T about feeling disconnected emotionally, and leave the issue of touch at the door, how the session might go. Perhaps you aren't feeling safe enough to proceed with the trauma work, because of the disconnection?
(Always feel free to disregard my ideas, they are just that -- mine. You ultimately know what is best for you.)
Keep up the great work! This is not easy stuff to process, but you seem so determined to find a solution, which is a beautiful thing.
