Thanks for responding, BayBrony. Once, about 4 years ago, my T said she thought I was "crossing over." I guessed at what she meant, that holding her hand was sexual to me, not simply comforting. If a client becomes sexually aroused from sitting and looking at his or T, that's one thing. But if a T is touching a client and it happens, the T should probably not allow the touching. It's unethical. I was NOT feeling that way, at least I don't think I was.
If holding her hand would arouse me, my T wouldn't do it anymore. I don't understand what you think is odd about that. Or are you talking about your reaction in your therapy? I think that's why Ts have to be very careful about using touch in therapy.
