Anyone have suggestions for ways I can meet my need for safe touch? Recently the urge to be hugged, held, touched, etc in a safe (non-sexual) way has been really strong. When I am crying and talking about my past trauma in therapy I have this strong urge to reach out to my therapist for physical comfort through a hug or being held while I cry. I can't ask my therapist for that though. I struggle already with feeling like I am to attached to him. I worry if he did hold me I'd end up feeling even more attached. On the other hand, if I asked him and he refused, I would probably feel really hurt and rejected. So I can't ask him. So any suggestion on how I can satisfy my need to be held/hugged/comforted in other ways?
