I have about the same ratio. None of my previous ts hugged, except maybe at the last session they would ask me for a hug, which would freak me out. I would be like, NOW?? I dont need a hug now! We're over now!! Where have you been for the last x years? Werent we human then? So i explained that to my current t, and just my good luck, at my very first session, he was giving a goodbye hug to his previous patient, a little boy, so i said, "i KNOW you dont discriminate on age or sex, right? So give ME a hug!" So he did, snd we talked about it many times, and we still talk about - not just about that first time, but about whether its still okay, how it has changed, how it has changed me, even about the pc discussions about hugging.
