Poll While Triggered/Anxious - Can You Tolerate Physical Affection?

[freakofnurture]

I want physical affection when I'm triggered into that vulnerable, anxious, helpless feeling, but only from my husband. He's the only person who's ever allowed to touch me.

No, it makes me feel threatened and I have to fight the urge to hit (which I have never done). If triggered and my husband goes to kiss me, even on the cheek, the urge to bite his face is very strong. If my hand or arm is held, even gently, I feel trapped and get ready to punch. Thank God I never have.
