I never heard any of those patients ask for a hug from her. Not one.
For me to ask would make me feel like she was going out of her way and humoring me.
She taught me never to reach for something like that.
During that 3 years, it wasn't too much on my mind, but every once in a while I would become jealous but quickly reminded myself of the reality of my level of worthiness in relation to the world around me.
I let it become a reality check for my life.
I never brought it up.

This happened at home school workplaces etc...
Therapy is just another place it happened.
