Platonic touch can be very comforting, and it can bring people closer. The over-sexualization of touch is unfortunate.

DP--it's clear that your T--rightly or wrongly--thinks you have romantic feelings for him, and that's probably why he's disallowing more touch. It makes sense for a therapist to not want to encourage (or do anything the could be interpreted as encouraging) those feelings, and it doesn't mean he thinks you're disgusting or anything like that.
Thanks for this!
