In reply to accidental touch, posted by tetrix on November 5, 2009, at 20:55:51
If we grow up (as many of us did) deprived of love or touch it only stands to reason that we will want that touch in life. It is a normal human need. It is very sad that therapists are taught not to touch.....if you read Dr.Zur on the net; he is an advocate for therapists being human!
I would tell your therapist; after all.......being authentic is important. She won't freak....if she is sensitive, etc....she will welcome any and all of your thoughts.
I hug my t....sometimes he just wants to shake my hand; I roll my eyes; we have been going back and forth with this issue for 6 years.
Touch is more healing than any word(s) can ever be. Infants die withhout touch, but as adults we won't die, but I spirits do.
Hugs, Sassy
