If you think her touching you in a caring manner could be beneficial for you, go for it! Learning that you can be touched by another person in a caring, gentle manner is an important lesson I think, whether you're a survivor of abuse or not.

I, for example, flinch and/or tense up whenever someone touches me. I feel like taking a leaf out of your book, Focus, and asking my own T for some kind of contact - a hug, pat on the shoulder, etc.
