T and I have never specifically talked about touch in therapy or boundaries around it. I reach out when I need her to hold my hand and she gratefully holds it. She rubs me on the shoulder when I am dissociating to bring me back. She gives me wonderful hugs at the end of each session. Sometimes she'll hold my hand and walk me to my car to make sure I make it there (I've been known to 'wander away'). If I'm super tense and can't un-clench my hands she'll help me by rubbing them and coaxing them free. All of these things just happened. All of these things have been extremely connecting and healing. Just my experience with it. I do know that she's uncomfortable with touch in therapy but with me it's just natural and just happens I don't hold back when reaching out and she's always there to receive and return.
