It was my issues with touch that took me to t in the first place. Unlike some of you I can cope with the incidental touch on the bus etc, but positive touch is a big no no. Only last session I wanted a hug, my t was happy to give me one but part of me was cross with the rest of me for asking so I ended up sitting in a kind of limbo with so much conflict inside. I sat like that for ages until eventually I kind of lost the plot and t just held onto me. One day I will learn to accept hugs as I really crave them but never had any s a child and in my marriage only if he got something out of it. It makes me feel better when I reaped about other people having reactions to touch as it sometimes makes me feel a bit of a freak. I have a job where I can often get physically hurt and I have no problem with this, I just can't accept nourishing positive touch. Maybe one day......
