This thread keeps popping to the top, and it's been making me think about my T and hugs. My T has never offered a hug, I've never asked. When I first started seeing my T, I made it very clear that I didn't want to be touched. I still have issues with touch. BUT, sometimes, I wish my T would offer a hug or even just spontaneously hug me. I know that's not going to happen, because she knows how uncomfortable hugs usually make me and she can't read my mind to know that it would be okay in particular instances. Then, I think more about it and decide it would totally make me uncomfortable if T did hug me.

I'm so conflicted about the whole hug topic. I wish I had the courage to discuss this with my T!
