I can relate Jade. My boss at work touches me randomly too. She's talking and telling some stupid joke she thinks is funny and briefly touches my back or my shoulder and just rests her hand there for a moment. I HATE IT. It makes me want to jump out of my skin. I don't enjoy hugs either...
I just bite my lip and try to deal with it, but it's horrible. The alternative is always offending someone though (or having to explain when I really would rather avoid explaining my child abuse history to people like my boss...). I'm sorry you're dealing with this!
