This is where T and I are now. At first she would offer a hug, sometimes I would accept and sometimes I would refuse. And then one day she just stopped. I thought we were over that and then three weeks later she offered again. So I tried to find a pattern to it, and ultimately there was none because she eventually just stopped offering.

At first it bothered me a little bit because right around the time she stopped offering, I was beginning to get used to the idea. But, it wasn't more than a session or two before I just got over it.

THEN, I noticed that whenever we 'conclude' I automatically turned my back to her (and faced the door) and I really think that the hugs stopped partially because she didn't want a hug (not like I ever asked for them) but also partially because my body language could have very well suggested that I didn't want to be hugged (though not 100% true).

Regardless, although the hugs have stopped, she still does an arm rub/pat and well wish for the week at the end of the session (back turned to her or not) and although I don't react, I do appreciate the sentiment of it all.
