I decided to email him what happened because my appointment is Thursday and by then I might not want to talk about it at all so this way if I do not bring it up he might.
I did EMDR for 2 yrs and it worked wonders for me but I moved away from my ex-T and have not found a trusted EMDR therapist in my area that takes insurance.
I did discuss what would happen in school when we got to the face, as I can not deal with my face touched, but I did not think the neck was even an issue. He said I could disclose my issue with the instructor if I felt necessary but I hate telling anyone about my mental issues.
I am not sure how long in school I can get away with not participating in bodywork for the neck and face as we practice on each other to prepare for clinic when they have the public come in for cheap massages. It is not fair to the other students as they need my participation to learn the strokes and what to do. The only way I can sit out is if there is a odd number of students in the class that day because of absences.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
