Hugs are such a weird thing. I have some erotic transference for my T but for months I truly didn't want a hug. Lately I do but I refuse to ask because I'm not 100% sure how it will make me feel. I think it will hurt.

I often wonder if I will ask for one on my last session because I can't imagine feeling like a "thank you" or handshake will be enough to express my gratitude or appreciation but I'm also scared it will raise feelings in me I can't manage. I guess I won't know until it's time.

As for the OP, I would gently advise against asking your T for a hug. I think it will leave you wanting more I think you're right in your hunch that it will raise more feelings in you. Have you considered talking about why you want one from her?

I'm sorry you're feeling lonely and like you need to be held. I genuinely understand how that feels.
