Trust your instincts. There's nothing wrong with having rules around who or when they can touch your body. My relationship with my T and Pdoc is strictly hands off. My pdoc half jokingly put her hand on my shoulder one time and then apologized immediately. If you think you can get something out of continuing therapy with this guy - then write out precisely that you are uncomfortable being touched and give it to him. If it feels unsafe or you think you can get the support / information in another way, then feel free to terminate. Not all therapists are a good fit for a patient.

Good luck.
