I understand that. I've gotten more comfortable with it because I've learned that really getting into the muscle helps me. I don't know of anything else that can provide immediate relief for me.

It also helps me to work only with women. Also, I remind myself that this is professional and I can report anything I disagree with if I'm willing to speak up. I tend to struggle more with being touched in personal relationships. Hugs, pats on the back, hand holding, etc. I really struggle with receiving love and support and knowing that's what people do when they appreciate you. They show affection.
