My T doesn't offer hugs, thank goodness! I don't feel that our relationship is there, nor do I want it to be. I hug my husband, family, and friends-all people I love, and that isn't the relationship I want with my T. I also hug my students if they need hugs. Again, this is out of love. I don't want to ever really love my T. The occasional transference that creeps up freaks me out as it is.
