Just curious, why is there a no hug policy? I don't hug my t, nor would I feel comfortable doing so, but it seems that lots of folks here at pc do hug their t's.

well,at the mental health agency where I saw her before, there is really a no-hug policy. but the no-touch is her boundary choice, because she feels it just avoids potential confusion and keeps ethical boundaries more firmly in place. I never really wanted to hug her, except now I was feeling like I wanted to, just because I feel a fond respect and appreciation for her. I think it's mutual or she wouldn't have said what she said ... but as she said, when I chose this profession, I chose to follow the ethical guidelines ...
