> He wondered if massage/holding therapies might eventually help. And he said that he thought I needed someone to be tender with me - touching or not. It was a sweet thing to say, poignant, kind of.

***********that made me think of a Hawaiian (sp?) form of massage that I had many years ago. It was called Lomi Lomi & would totally freak out anyone with touch issues I'm sure. It was pretty weird, but I did some amazing emotional healing about some emotions that came up during the treatment.****


> I'm leaving for a conference in a few days. Way too many people there who will want to hug me. I'm thinking of making one of those circles with a line through it for my name badge. Think people will get it?

********Jeez I think I'd make up something more specific if you really plan to do a badge.
Maybe something like:

I welcome a gentle handshake. Hugs aggravate a medical condition :')

Or you could put physical instead of medical. The thing is, I guess you'd have to be ready for people to ask you about it. If you decide to do it, & want to explore how you'd reply, I'd be happy to discuss it!

love, Kath

PS my 30 yr old daughter has Multiple Chemical Sensitivities. She reacts VERY badly to scents...handcreams, hair products, aftershave, perfume, the smell of laundry detergents on people's clothes & (a really bad one) scented dryer sheet smells on people's clothes. Our society is SOOOOOOOOO polluted by scents. I had no idea how bad it is until she developed this problem. If she goes out, she has to wear a mask. She wouldn't even be able to go to a conference! Anyway, having this situation in our family, I'm used to trying to solve situations that involve contact with others.
