I agree with Nicole for the most part, but I don't think regular hugs are okay with a therapist. A full-frontal embracing hug is a physical intimacy that has no place in a therapist's office. (The only time I hugged my therapist was when she was leaving on maternity leave. I'm female.)

Your former therapist was obviously not there when boundaries in therapy were being discussed. She crossed a huge boundary then blamed you for misinterpreting it. She is a very poor therapist and you are well rid of her.

Please find someone new and ask them about such behavior. If they say that therapist was WRONG, you've found someone worth working with. I'm so sorry that you had to go through such a bad experience with someone you were supposed to be able to trust implicitly. Shame on her.

You are worthy of help and worthy of being able to discuss ANY feeling with a good therapist. Please don't give up.
