Learning
Does your therapist offer touch in therapy? Do you take it and does it help? My T will frequently offer touch or physical contact (perfectly legitimately and 'normal' for the therapy (somatic experiencing), I'm not worried about that) but it's something I really struggle with and often say no to. I've been in therapy for over 18 months, it's not a 'new', thing. They said the other week that resisting what I need isn't helping me. I think it's common in (C) PTSD to pull away from anyone getting too close, how do you learn to accept them taking your hand or trying to untense your shoulders without panicking?
