Because the client asks for them? I think a hug can be healing to some ppl...

My T doesn't hug me- I don't mind being hugged by friends/close family, I'd not like to be hugged by my T though- I like him, we know each other for 7 yrs now (twice a week sessions) but still this RS is too one sided for a hug. Afterall, T is quite a stranger to me.
