My fairly new T (he is my pdoc also) doesn't seem to be into touch at all. My previous T also my pdoc used to give me hugs and comfort me frequently. I miss his hugs a lot. I also have a cognitive therapist who may put her habd on my shoulder, or pat my hand and I know this is a stretch for her as far as touch. She is far from being cold, that is just her policy.
When I left my T yesterday, I never new I could feel hug without him ever touching me, but I did. His gentle words of caring, and encouragement engulfed me as if it was him wrapping his arms around me. He told me how he thought I was the kindest person he had ever met and that he was happy to have the chance to work with me and I don't even remember what else he ended with. I started to cry just like I used to when my old T used to hug me. I never would have guessed I could feel that way without actual touch and I can't even imagine if he did touch me,but I don't need him to. He is so skilled with his words. This is totally new to me. I think this is going to be ok.
