Awwww my shrinks would never hug me they say that it would not be normal because they are not family or very very very best friends to me. I do that sometimes, it really is not nice how they judge you so much! It made me uncomfortable a few months ago when my old shrink talked to me he got very close to me and talk in a soft high pitched voice. I suggest if you cannot do it face to face use email or the telephone. I am wishing you luck and hoping things go well for you!
