I think you know my story.... T1 used touch up until a bit over a year ago. She offered to come sit by me, hold me, help me stay in the moment rather than dissociate. She decided to stop that abruptly, she never told me she was taking it away, I just noticed and eventually brought it up to her. She purposely stopped it, and just let me realize it rather than talk to me about it. It has been very VERY damaging to me, even now, over a year later. So in came T2, to help me deal with my feelings with T1, and then I found T3. Turns out T3 is a bit of a Godsend. She is a SE therapist, but she's also a massage therapist and uses bodywork in psychotherapy. I'm loving it! I hear that's not very common, to get bodywork and therapy from the same person (and T1 is actually skeptical of her....since I told her....I think she's feeling a little threatened)

I find touch very helpful, and I guess my T1 had it right when she said I was trying to find someone to fill the void that my therapy with her, and her boundary changes, left when she took things away. But, it's working for me. I find it extremely helpful.
