Hello always_wondering-
Thank you for giving an update. You have asked the question that haunted me continuously-"How is this helping me?". And, your question is really at the heart of this thread. I can only imagine what you are experiencing, now having received this hug from him yesterday. You're right, now you have to sit with all of this until your next session. It can be especially needling when the therapist does something that is out of character, or something they haven't done before. I remember when that would happen I would go through continuous questions in my head-has something changed? Do they care about me in a personal way now? Was he expressing a feeling that he has for all of his patients or was this a spontaneous expression for me personally? I can empathize with you.
