My therapist mentioned Craddle therapy one time. She was jst joking at the time, but I think it may be an actual(controversal) treatment technique.

Several sessions ago my T presented the idea of using some technique with me. Last session we talked a little bit about that and her reluctance in trying it with me. During the discussion I realized how difficult it might be to propose treatment ideas to me. I have a lot of fear about maniuplation, being controlled/influenced etc. It made me wonder how often my T wanted to do something but needed the right timing or situation to get me to accept it. Maybe your T was just mentioning this idea to see how receptive you might be to it or something similar. In my case after doing one session of some new technique my T asked me about hypnosis. I don't know if it would ever be considered useful with me, but, I think my T was just assessing what options are now available with me. A year ago the mentioning of hypnosis would have sent me out the door.

If the contact discussion comes up again, I recommend trying to keep an open mind, but discuss your concerns before committing.
