I've done some googling on 'somatic' therapy with people suffering from trauma.

I'm not a naturally huggy person, but massage I enjoy. In fact I really crave that non-sexual non-emotional professional touch, if that makes any sense!

I also have a confession - I do not like dogs. And those little creatures will seek me out every time & slober all over me, jumping up & down. Seriously there will be 99 dog lovers in the room, and they will seek out me. People look at me strangely for pushing the dog away.
