distance is very important to me - i did not know that- as I am fairly blocked from my emotions but one day
when I noticed space was important to me,
and shared my reaction the next week with the T,
that I need space
then after that discussion, without a word he has quietly kept his distance
the T created a safe space and really showed me that he heard me
now I feel some trust, there will be time when I may feel emotional safety.

I do not know if he has a no touch rule, cause i have that rule, I will bring it up next time-

my new Pdoc sits behind a desk and I find that much more comfortable for taking notes and I not having to balance a coffe cup at the same time
