oopsie,
congratulations, you just did your very first "double-post"Now you KNOW you're at home!
You've been granted amnesty, however-- so no stress.
We are not only accepting of your eccentricities, we expect them :)
Have you talked about your aversion to affectionate touch with your T? Do you know when this started?
I don't think you're the only one out there. I have a general aversion to touching men, or having men touch me. I can fake being comfortable, but it's difficult under many circumstances. Only two men in my life I've ever felt truly comfortable with. (I'm a woman)
guess what happened to me as a kid? I experienced violence from my father and older brother. chronic and unpredictable. I never thought it was a big deal at all until after 4 months of therapy when I started to understand the extent of my dissociative reactions to stress. Anyways, that's what I'm working on right now in therapy.
You may have a very different reason/source for your anxiety, but keep an open mind as you work on this. If you think that body-work will help you understand it, then by all means - go for it.
But if the body-work (or any other experience) starts to stir up uncomfortable feelings, please take good care of yourself.
