T does so many nice things for me

Non-judgemental acceptance, support, sharing laughter, listening and hearing, allowing unlimited phone calls, providing her cell for when I need to contact her immediately, her helping me talk about difficult things.

I too would like a hug. Last session we talked about it after I had been in a really bad place and left a phone message "I know you wouldn't, but I would ask you for a hug if I were there right now. When we talked about it a bit in session (I was too embarrassed to talk about it much) she said she doesn't have a hard rule against it, that it depends on circumstances/situation. She didn't elaborate and I didn't ask because I figure I would try to manipulate myself into that circumstance/situation just for the hugh . But it sure was good to hear that a hug is possible.
