SAWE: Thank you! Yes, the "hand holding thing" is something so big that it does need a whole lot of processing and time to do that. The whole issue of touch is something I haven't explored at all in therapy. It's so important to me that I'm going through time between sessions in a kind of daze. I want to hibernate, meaning I wish I could just post on PC and go to therapy. RL can just go on without me for awhile. But, no. I'm applying what I'm learning in therapy to life at home with my H. So far the scale still tips in favor of therapy, but I'm working on it, at least.
