This is the first time I've heard of this type of therapy.

This question comes to mind: when it comes to pre-verbal/non-verbal trauma, are there other ways to work on them? Can healing be achieved through traditional talking therapy?

I have big problems with touch (I guess I'm not the only one here). It can trigger panic and fear in me. At best I tolerate it. I think this stems from something that happened to me when I was very small but I don't know where to start in regard to working on this - it's just too difficult and inaccessible - I remember it in third person, as an onlooker rather than any experience of it. I journaled something vaguely once, which my T read, but haven't been able to bring it up with him. In fact this whole topic of my aversion to touch has been tidily avoided so far. It's a strange thing - it's not as if I don't wish I could enjoy touch and feel safe with it (on some level I want touch but on other levels no way) - I have the feeling someone else wrote something like this on a topic not so long ago.
