I really have thought way too much about the issue, ha! My T hugs and I've decided hugs are good for me. T hugs are like super charged hugs. It was like being reminded of what a hug could and should be. It helped me improve the quality of my out of session hugging. Your therapist may or may not hug, so I should forewarn you of that. If you are having a strong transference the hugs could be a turn on, I think it differs for people.
