I would terminate. Of course, it totally depends on how attached you are, how invested and if you feel there are other things he could offer that would be as helpful.
There are a number of understandable reasons not to hug after disclosing trauma too, by the way, so I really don't feel he was being unreasonable or acting unusually for his profession, and it sounds like he did try to bridge the gap with that 'metaphorical' hug mention, but, nonetheless: when I feel so bad, I want a hug and it's an important part of the therapy for me, so, I wouldn't see a non-hugger. I did that for a couple years long ago and it was not helpful.
I do think it's really important the hugs be clear, safe, thought-out, etc.
I'm really really sorry you're feeling so shaky and vulnerable, it's an awful feeling.
(HUGS)
