First off, the article wasn't all bad-I thought the other had some good points, although he kind of blew it for me with his statement about overweight people! (For him to claim his viewpoint and say that he can't hold overweight people, kind of invalidated his point of view for me altogether.) But that doesn't mean some of his points were valid.
I think when it comes to touching and holding in therapy, it needs to be analyzed thoroughly before actually doing it. Believe me, I know how you feel because I'm going through it with my own T, but he's chosen to take his time, and its for my well being. I think that has meant a lot to me, because he always puts me first. What about talking to your T about what you would want to happen and what you think would happen afterwards? Or you can answer me here even, if you don't want to talk to your T.
