Luce - how long have you been seeing your new T? DO you think you are till trying to decide if you can trust the new T?
I've only been seeing my T for about 3 1/2 months. I think I'm beginning to really like her and trust her, but I still don't want a hug.

Hangingon - That was nice how your T initiated the hugging.....thanks for sharing that.
I think you're right, it is a worthwhile risk to ask for a hug if it is something the client really wants.

Treehouse - you were so brave to reveal that, and I'm glad you got the what you needed from T afterwards. I know it doesn't make all the hard stuff go away, but hopefully it helps to know that T will always be there for you. Take care of yourself, ok?

Bether - your T must have known you very well to know you wanted a hug without even saying it. That really speaks to the significance of the therapeutic relationship you had. Awesome!
Do you wish you had asked for a hug sooner than the last session?
