I know that I won't get a hug from my t/pdoc, it is the boundary thing. Seems from alot of posts I have read over the years I have been on PC, medical doctors will never cross that boundary EVER.
I remember once in my writing that I gave to my pdoc that sometimes I wish she would hug me and tell me things will work out in time. We never discussed it verbally and I know from the time I have been with her and I see her every week for an hour that she holds herself to high standards/boundaries.
So yeah when I read that people get hugs or are held by their therapists, I get that pang of why can't I have that. I'm not thinking all the time but on the odd occasion that I am spiraling and the crap is hitting the fan it would be nice.
