one way you can find out what your therapist thinks is by asking to see your file. just tell him you are curious as to what the file system looks like and how detailed he gets. as long as you are over 18 it is your mental health right to see upon your request your file and go over it with your therapist. As long as you are over 18 he cannot withhold going over your file and treatment plans with you.

yes some therapists are physical of sharing the fact that they support and care about what you are going through by holding, hugs and so on. But if you are not comfortable you do have a right to say to him I don't want to be touched right now. I have told many therapists not to touch me and I have asked a few therapists to hold me and have had therapists that show me they care by giving me a hug or a touch on my shoulder, hand or arm.

If he is not respecting your saying no then that is the time to report him to his supervisor because that can be considered abusive and against mental health guidelines.
