She still won't touch me unless I ask even when I know she would like to hold my hand or try and comfort me. Sometimes I find the boundary annoying but most of the time I really like it. Touch still completely overwhelmes me. It puts me in touch with all sorts of feelings that I can ignore when we just talk, although to be honest I'm a bit rubbish at talking as well! I'm pleased your t is allowing touch again, but I think I would be very confused in your situation and scared it will be withdrawn again. Does this bother you?

Sorry to hijack your thread, Rainbow but my T has asked me a few times "where in the body do you feel this" and I just dont know where or what I am supposed to be feeling. But yesterday I felt a kind of sick feeling low down in my stomach. It feels like an empty void. Does this make sense? Why does she keep asking me where am I feeling this? What is SE? I am feeling really bad today. I feel like i am drowning in a sea of despair.


Why does she ask this every session? She does Mindfulness - could this be related? Why do I not feel anything? Please help me make sense of this.
