My apologies Brown Owl. I was not specifically referring to your specific post, and I was not clear at all. I was more responding to the "ick" factor that this therapist elicits. I just see the OP's post as one more thing in a therapist toolbox, whether it be touch, text, check-ins, etc., to help a client go through the process of healing. What may work for one client may not work for another, and also many clients are afraid to take risk, because of the infantalizing label.
Again, sorry it seemed aimed at you. I appreciate your responses and take a lot away from them.
