Odd as this sounds can you maybe tell her this and ask her not to hug you for a day or two ..or till you ask her to? She sounds VERY compassionate..if someone asked me to do that for them I would and I would not think ill of them at all...Also maybe you can not do this THIS week and kinda get use to the idea?
Safe hugs...youre a brave cookie...if what you are going to talk about is something I responded to way back ...on hard to talk on....wow you are really working hard in theapy and deserve a hats off
