I have never used a forum like this before so I am not sure how this works, but here I go. I have an aversion to touch. Not all touch... just the people closest to me (i.e. mother, husband, etc). I have no problem with babies, children, massage therapist, etc. There is no physical pain involved, just panic and anxiety. I am in therapy for this among many other things, and my therapist suggested Sensate Focus as a means to working on my aversion to touch from my husband. After reading up on it, this approach seems a bit extreme to start with. Has anyone had luck with something a little less intrusive? I just don't think I can stomach Sensate Focus. It's too much too soon.
