My immediate thought is that nothing that is done to my body can avoid having an impact on all parts of me. But since I have full co-consciousness I don't know whether that would apply to you.
I also find that my therapist's emotional holding feels a whole lot better than physical touch. The few times he's touched my arm or shaken my hand, I felt absolutely nothing. When he sits before me and is open and receptive, I feel more held than the tightest of hugs. But that's just me, and I don't really like to be touched.
