My T has never given me a hug. I recall seeing him hug another client once, during her last group session...and it was a long, comforting hug...and T knew that I had a reaction to it because he called me out on it during the next group session. (How embarrassing!)....
Anyway, my T doesn't even do handshakes, let alone hugs...(unless I guess when you terminate? who knows)....but one of the other T's that works with him hugs me all the time...EXCEPT when my T is around. He told me that he doesn't hug clients around T because my T frowns upon hugging clients.
