Yeah I am a hugger would provoke some really mean remark on my side...

You shouldn't feel the need to please you T. I would discuss it with him. Just say it's good to know he has a hugging policy so you can ask for one WHEN you WANT one. I wouldn't terminate for this reason though.

My T shakes hands, I shook his hand once, the first time I saw him, and on our second session explained why I don't see the point of shaking his hand every time I see him. I don't find touch to be stg pleasant, I even dislike to be hugged by my parents, sister and my bestF- 4 ppl on Earth I love the most. However, I understand that it is comforting for other ppl and so I have learned to touch/hug ppl I care for. I offered my T a handshake when his friend died (he was dressed all in black, so I asked and he told me he has a funeral to attend to) He was pretty surprised by that.
