My therapist started giving me hugs after saying no to my request for almost a year.
His hugs feel so nurturing to me...like a soft comforting blanket, especially after a difficult session.
But the downside of all this bliss is I have to peel myself away from him and say goodbye.
I don't know what's more painful...aching for a hug or painfully leaving him.

Do any of you hug your therapist at the end of your session?
If so, what kind of hugs are they and for how long?
How do you feel about hugs with your therapist?
Harmless or harmful boundary crossings?
