When I first met my T, I told her that she has to be okay with hugs. Thankfully she said she is so long as there are no conditions to it...
I found out, literally today, that my Pdoc also hugs! I asked her if hugs would break her boundaries. She said so long as it's a benefit to the client, hugs are okay with her. So I got my first hug from her
I am not a kissing type person. My grandmother-in-law is Italian...I'm stuck giving and receiving kisses from her...
Hand-holding...I would love for my T to hold my hand, but I'm not confident enough to ask her for that
What is worse: asking for something and being told "no, or never asking and always wondering? I personally prefer risking feeling rejected then denying myself a possible comfort. I just try to find the most appropriate time possible to ask.
