I am absolutely positive that my therapist would never agree to such a thing. He's a very cautious therapist. But I get my physical holding needs met by my husband, and feel no real desire or need for my therapist to do that. I think it would feel dreadfully uncomfortable. Even making eye contact feels dreadfully uncomfortable and intimate for me. If I had no one at all to ever hold me, I might feel differently. There's many an evening that I have my husband hold me so tight that I hope to be able to lose my separateness. But a husband's supposed to do that. It's sort of like I'm a typical Mom and don't get grossed out by helping my son blow his nose (not so much anymore of course) but I'm not about to get my therapist's snot anywhere near me. Perhaps I compartmentalize?
