I love hugs,hugs are my way of saying I care about a person. Most times I'm pretty harsh with people I care about,so hugging shows them that I do. But I also have this "don't get too close to me or you'll hurt me/i'll hurt you" thing going on

T and I hug almost every session,sometimes before,sometimes in between. There are times when T has asked me to give her a hug and I felt okay saying "I prefer not to".

Hug can be awkward but they are always warm at the end for us.
