My T moved further away from me when he realized how uncomfortable I was with him being within 5-6 feet of me. He also reassured me that he wasn't going to touch me, other than the initial handshake. (after 4 yrs I am now ok with a very rare fist bump) He also didn't push me to make eye contact once he understood that I wasn't comfortable with it. And he thankfully doesn't stare fixedly at me either as that made me feel too scrutinized.
Another thing that was crucial was that he waited months for me to be able to even disclose the smallest things and just made me feel very safe and accepted once I finally did share something hard with him via email.
