FKM, your words just gave me another insight. I think I understand what body worker T may be thinking. She probably thinks what you mentioned... that my flashbacks are severe and that I am associating her with the perp (which is not what actually is happening). That's why she leaves the room, to make me feel safe. It made me get worse instead and I hadn't understood. I think I need to tell her that it's not as severe as she thinks, that I'm aware of where I am, and that her presence is helpful. That would probably help her feel calmer about the situation not being as out of control as she may think, and also help her help me better. Anyway, thanks, and even though I'm still too scared to bring up touch, I have an idea of where I need to go next in conversation with her.
