> 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.

Me neither-but I want to change that because I know it is based in fear and closing myself to others. I also agree that my T can be very good at emotional holding too. But I have felt something the few times my T has reached out and touched me in passing or whatever-it means a lot. It's sort of an underline to his words, for me.
