Benefits of touch

I was told that when and if my boyfriend gives me a body memory like grabbing the back of my neck, and not in a harmful or threatening way but sometimes he likes to rub it or give it a little squeeze, but this for me is a major trigger because my ex did this to me whenever he was a angry to get me to listen to him.

So my psychitrist told me that if this happens with my current bf of 3 years to tell him to keep doing it until the trigger is no more.

Has anyone done this?
