What did she say about hugs etc? Or maybe somehow I missed this information. If I remember well it was also important for you... I guess only you could think what are really crucial points for you and for what you could agree... And how was talking to her overall? As boundaries are very important but also the overall impression counts in my opinion at least... I wish you all the best  |
Honestly I don't know if she was better than the Therapist who I saw for only 1 session before deciding to see someone else because even though she was a lot older than me she was at least willing to disclose personal things about herself in fact she told me her age and that she had 3 children without me even asking her.
I didn't get anywhere close to hugs (and honestly I don't think it is something that I will get into at the next 2 sessions) but from judging by her stance on other things I would think a definitely no on hugs regularly and maybe even no hugs at something like a final session.
