Yes: it is good that you can trust your partner. you could get some therapy to reduce your revulsion at being touched by other friends, but it is up to you of course.

Yes: After such a traumatic event even friendly touches can feel like a violation. If you have never received counseling for this in the past, I suggest you look into this as an adult. Even if you consider your current relationship to be healthy.
