I've never cried in 16 months of therapy. T has made it clear I can cry if I want to, but I havent.

We discussed her hugging me, and I said I didn't want her to. A few times she has said that she would like to hug me (when I've been finding things harder for example) but won't until I say its okay.

I'm the the UK, so maybe it depends on individual Ts.
