I love hugging my T (lets not forget that we are hugging them as much as they are hugging us... unless you stand there like a telephone pole). 98% of the time I can't feel it though. I let me feel me hugging her but I can't feel her arms around me. So I enjoy being close enough to smell her and hear her breathe (Smells are part of my autism and hearing her breathe reminds me that she really is real). Hmmmm.... guess what I'm gunna have to be working on next session...
