I've skipped all the responses but will read them.

It's because it's just like with your mom - you're mad and hurt and can't talk to her about it. And, you finally thought you had someone who WOULD listen and you COULD talk to about it.

It is going to be very hard for you to keep going without discussing it. I think you need to tell her WHY you need to talk about it. Tell her that you aren't talking about it to change her mind (I think you can see that won't happen) but you need to talk about it to look at the underlying reasons and how to avoid it with other people.

And, I think it's not about the touch anymore. It's about the feeling of rejection - she kind of did that twice to you: once when taking away touch and again when refusing to discuss it anymore. She should look at how it's affecting you and start digging in those issues.

Oh, and the attachment girl blog that someone posted is great! Ruptures are so hard with our T's but hopefully getting through them deepens the relationship and both T. and client learn something.
