Yeah, the touch started out as just supportive stuff but then it ended up being much, much more than that. And many times I'd feel that he had an erection, but he'd tell me it was totally normal. He also told me that he felt he would be able to heal some of my childhood sexual abuse by providing safe touch to my genitals... and I let him do it. I regret it all. I feel stupid that I ever agreed to it. I just wanted to get better. I've had a long history of clinical depression and suicidal ideation. I tried so many different avenues to get better (medications, talk therapy, primal therapy, religion, meditation, hypnosis) and when he said this was a technique that could help heal me, I was willing to take the risk. I really appreciate all of you telling me your experiences with touch. I am sure now that he was lying to me about how common it is. I really do feel your support and I'm glad I was finally able to tell someone else about it. I feel relieved.
