No T should ever be touching a patient's leg. I don't care what gender combination it is.
If I am working with a patient and he/she begins to get into a state in which I feel touch may be beneficial, I always ask, "Is it okay if I put my hand on your arm?"
I disagree that you should tell him "no" and then continue therapy with him. Too dangerous. He has already ruined the therapeutic relationship. I say terminate. I am very sorry this happened to you, but you will have an opportunity to find another T-- one of many, many Ts out there who ARE trusting and you WON'T violate you.
