Touch is a major issue for me also - I can barely go to a doctor of any kind because of it. I also needed to make sure I had a female therapist when I first began treatment. My therapist is very cognizant of the issues I have around touch and would never violate my trust. I am especially greatful to her sensitivity. She is open to me sitting next to her in a session if I need to. She will put her arm around me if i ask. So it's cool to have someone who is not rigid but is open minded to what works for me.
