Dear T,

Thank you, for hearing me, and for trying your hardest to understand and 'agree', even though I totally get that you fundamentally disagree on some level. Personally, yes, I think you have been 'brainwashed' into believing that all touch in therapy is 'bad'. I think FAR more work needs to be done on the potential benefits of it, even for survivors of CSA. Thank you for saying that back 50 years ago and play therapy was not a recognised form of therapy, so there is no reason why this couldn't be in the future. I understand that it isn't commonplace. I understand that most theories teach that it can be very harmful - mainly because I am sure it can be very harmful, but it can also be insanely powerfully healing, as it was for me. And I am glad that you could see that. Ex T was one in a million, yes.

See you next week.

Thanks for this!
