Childhood Anxiety Attacks
Anxiety from physical touch?
Whenever someone touches me, I feel uncomfortable. It is true for both men and women, though I definately feel less threatened around women. I avoid touch without thinking. I feel programmed to stay 2 feet away from everyone.
I believe the cause for this is an abusive childhood. My older siblings and I were physically beaten. One of my siblings was molested. I know that watching this was extremely trumatizing. Still, I feel like I’m pretty smart and that I’ve managed to overcome a lot of obsticles in my life.
How can I cure myself of these Anxiety Attacks from something as simple as human touch? I shouldn’t have to keep the world 2 feet away. I shouldn’t panic when someone bumps into me. I shouldn’t feel uncomfortable when I kiss the girl I love.
