Um ... no, I don't think touching like that that sounds okay. Sorry, but I think it's a boundary violation. What do you think about it? You say you feel comforted by it, but what do you think? Some of us are more vulnerable than others to people who take advantage. I am a csa survivor, and when I was in detox a few months ago, another (male) client started hugging me and leaning his body against me all the time. I felt he was just being nice and comforting. Also, I'm interested in women not men - so kind of didn't think much of it. But something made me stop and think about it and I realised he was actually stepping over too many personal boundaries without regard to me (something my t has been teaching me). Turns out, he was trying it on - I found this out when I went out of my way to mention that I wasn't interested in men, he stopped hugging me and ended up taking advantage of the only other female at the unit!

Please pay attention to any concerns you have.
