There is no therapy that I know of that allows touch (whatever that may encompass) or disallows touch. It's interesting to read the history of how touch got out of favor with therapist, then started to come back with the free swing 60's, and then the legal gurus and the insurance industries clamped way down, because of a bunch of unethical professionals. "Touch is the slippery slope to sex. If I remember correctly, a California.gov consumer agency puts out a pamphlet stating touch is not in therapy is a misnomer.

Touch is not for everyone. And, many therapist cannot do touch for their own personal reasons, and I give them that. The Worst in my opinion is the psychotherapist that starts touch and then takes it away without the consent of the client under the guise of doing what's best for said client. For those with abandonment/attachment issues this incompetence inflicts the same kind of trauma that we experienced during the attachment phase of growing up, most lily from our parents. I do believe most of our parents tried, but what they did give was not right or enough for us. Why should a therapist be allowed to give and withhold whenever he/she wants? What sense does that make?

I hope somewhere in this response is your answer. I paid a lot of ugly ducklings to find the right one to help me become a swan.
