The need for touch, the need for closeness and reassurance...these needs are so primitive and so painful. I think there is a tremendous push/pull and it is all so scary. I'm jealous as h*ll that he said yes, but I'm glad for you.
And yet, I would be anxious about it too. I would wonder, as you posted, will it be enough? What if it feels awkward instead of soothing? What if I liked it too much? But I'm not a touchy, huggy person, so I worry about these things. It is weird, to want to be held and yet to hate being touched.
You are working so hard and so deep. Take care of yourself.
