2 thoughts: 1. This is just my observation, but it seems like he likelihood of T-touching is maybe very affected by the general relational style of your geographic area. (thoughts??) I'm from the midwest where affection and friendliness are often expressed with touch even with casual acquaintances. I have had a few T's over the years- and outside of therapy, have had a few friends who were T's- and I never even realized hugs were a thing some T's won't do until I visited this site!

2. If you can't find a T comfortable with the touch you need, I have heard of some people having good, psychologically healing, experiences through massage therapy.
