My T saved my life by giving me a hug when I needed it the most.
Of course it only happened because he has great boundaries and he is very clear with me on everything. And he knows ME. I think / well know / that if on that one day when I needed two hugs that he had said no that he would have spent twenty min extra with me on being sure I knew why and on making sure I was still safe and not at the end of my rope. For him, the hug was able to give me the same (and better) medicine than his words - and took a lot less time to give me while still allowing me to have a true NEED (not a want) met.
