Therapy is sometimes being free to be upset at T or at self or at the world or at abusers. It is a place where we can just BE. Perhaps you were feeling things in session that you would rather not feel and it was hard to feel that. If a person feels exposed or vulnerable - physical human contact of any sort can be highly triggering and uncomfortable. Your T knows all this. And it is ok if you were mad at T when you left - for any reason or for no reason. That is the wonder of therapy. It is NOT a friendship. It is a professional work relationship that is very one sided - OUR side. It is designed to be that way for a reason. As long as a person is not abusing a T - which not giving a hug is not abuse ;-) and the person is not crossing boundries that should not be crossed ... well experiencing and feeling the range just is what it is. Explore the emotions and see where the path leads. ALLOW yourself to go down this road. T is not going to stop seeing you or helping you because of this.
