My T is a neuro-psychologist as part of her many certifications/trainings/titles/whatever you call em and she firmly believes that she can also help calm my nervous system that is out of control and create new neural pathways as well.
We do it in different ways other than touch because well, that's her and I have problems with touch right now - we have talked about SE for the future. I know for a fact that my T is not naive and has had a lot of success with this type of therapy with her other clients because she used to talk about it until I asked her to refrain.
I have Love 2.0 but haven't started it yet - I'm knee deep in T assigned reading right now. I see her 2x a week I only pay for one a week visits because she genuinely cares & wants me to know she's there no matter when or what. I don't know if others think this is wrong or not or building an unhealthy relationship or not. (and I try to refrain from caring)
I'm only 1 of 3 non-family/couples/marriage trauma clients she sees at the present. She never has more than that because of the types of 'needs' we have and the extra 'time' we take.
I don't know if that made any sense or not or helped you out but that's my .53 cents on the topic
