Not got to intimacy yet but fear it will be coming one day as I had extreme reactions to ex.
Like you some sessions are talk, others breathe work or massage etc. I love the fact that I can finally recieve some of the nurturing touch I never had but wonder if this makes my attachment to t stronger. I have been fighting it for years. Other people on here seem equally attached though without touch. What do you think? Do you often have wierd reactions to stuff?
Anyway thanks again for starting this

Yes, Adel's group is going to be good!
My T doesn't want to use touch anymore though the first time we did SE she did. Before that, I used to hold her hand when we did IFS. Unfortunately, or fortunately (I know it's for my own good but hard because it felt so good
) the touching kinda gets it too much about my T and not about me so we're doing it without touch. She still gets close to me emotionally and physically--more so than traditionally talk therapy. I think I answered your question about touch. Yes, it makes my attachment to my T stronger, but to confuse you I have to say that I was very attached to two other Ts, and no touch was allowed, ever! Weird reactions to stuff? I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I probably do! PM me if you want to talk about it in more detail since we don't have a forum in the social group yet.
