i'm sorry. it sounds like repairing the relationship isn't going well.

In relation to the OP I think the T had a serious over reaction and wrongly assumed it was done deliberately. Some T's and shrinks do need to be less paranoid. The really do.
and they think we are the mad ones!!!
Ha, ha, Ford Puma: Yes! I have basically told my t (he said once, "what we know.....I mean, Who is 'we"---I knew he meant the profession...I just told him to talk human...knock of the psychobabble! LOL

basically your butt is poked way out to prevent as much of your body as possible from touching the other person. its quite ridiculous.

she used to hug me like this: 20121113019.jpg Photo by abk2010abk | Photobucket

and we'd do three deep breaths together before she let me go. even though if you ask her now she will swear she never ever did that. but she did consistently for a year, and even kissed my forehead once. Actually she did last month, too..June 2nd I think. But I don't think she noticed her slip up.
Thank you for these pics, I get it now. They are totally different hugs- the first is one I give all the time as a greeting to a friend or acquaintance who hugs. Not quite so silly looking but the casual hug people give all the time. Is that really how she wants you to position yourself? I agree that no hug is better than that if I was looking for comfort.

You really need to discuss this in detail with her. She should be able to explain why she is so focused on any perceived sexuality when she wasn't previously. If she has issues or has reasons she is entitled to them, but you are entitled to be treated like an adult and have an honest discussion.

shes not big on explaining that stuff outside off what shes already said. its kind of "this is the law now, its what i want, the end."

I don't know...but I am CERTAIN she never used an A frame hug with me the first year just bc it was impossible. I weighed 280 pounds, there was simply no way to hug me and not be touching my body, lol.

I've since lost 140 pounds, so maybe her attempts At A frame just became more pronounced and I only noticed bc I lost so much weight? But I think shes just full of **** and she never did it the first year.

I'm sorry to say but your T appears to be a bit wacky and unprofessional. Her comment was totally uncalled for; it gives me a negative impression of her! As far as handholding, my T and I do it but it never goes beyond that. She has sat next to me but only our hands were touching. She uses touch according to what she's learned by being a somatic experiencing (SE) practitioner.

I'm glad you're seeing a new T! Are you saying your T hasn't apologized for her comment?
Thanks for this!
