Excuse me? Where in this statement am I belittling you!!!
(I do not want to ask for a hug. It is like asking for a gift.....it's loses its meaning when asked for. If a T is going to hug me it needs to come from him on his own because he wants to, because he was moved in someway to do so. Then it would have great meaning and healing power.)
I am giving my view on what I feel about hugs.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
