Skittles,
Regardless of your relationship with your therapist, there is a power differential. Especially if you have any kind of attachment to your Therapist. Touching when one person has power over another can cause old memories and feelings to remerge. Sometimes it is fear, sometimes anger, sometimes a longing for more. If you've been conditioned to respond to touch, because of csa or other abuse, touching by your therapist can open a can of worms.
That's what I meant by issues. I didn't mean to imply that there was something wrong with you specifically. Sorry if I upset you.
