My therapist once touched my wrist when I first started to SI.
I didn't do it for a couple of months. It felt healing. I'm debating whether to ask him during our next session if he would hold my wrists, and ask me to not cut, or whatever he wants to say that would be healing. But I'm afraid of asking him to touch me, afraid that he might think it's not appropriate. We hugged once. He has shook my hand a few times. My sexual transference issues with him dont make this any easier. I would love for him to just hold me. Do I dare ask?

If you think it would help, then yes. Do what you need to get better.
If it feels aquard then wait and ask him/her about EMDR, that's the only way that I've let my therapist help by touching and it was only the ankles but it could be useful for SI. (not sure if it would be useful) but do some checking into. and hopefull things will get better for you. Just do what is best for you. |
