Male T - handshake only at the end of a session. I asked to hug, he said no, not much explanation. He squeezed my hand once in a session.
Female T - I asked her to hold my hand, and then she hugged me -- the day I told my story. She's hugged me at the end of most sessions since then. She is very clear about the type of clients she is willing to touch and will explain it.
I have hugged my internist, she is awesome and has taken great care of me. She was very happy to hug me back.
