It's quite frustrating.

I relate to this, too. Thanks for posting. I think in my case it's a trust issue/emotional distance/protective measure/fear of rejection thing. Maybe. I'll see what T says, but I think it stems from my childhood and the way my parents related to me - they weren't 'huggers', for example, (but it's more complicated)...
This awkward topic may be under discussion in session tomorrow...
I don't remember a huge amount from my childhood either, it's all very vague, with just snippets here and there - but aside from a few slaps and slanging matches I don't think there was any real abuse going on.
