I don't know what to say, therapists try to be comforting and so when someone says they like a hug and they can hug you and so on. I'm a man and sometimes arousal happens, it's not like we intentionally decide to feel aroused. The important thing is that you feel safe and feel your boundaries are respected or not. Like if you don't want a hug and the person hugs you anyways or they touch your breasts or something like that.

Also one thing is perhaps you can see see if there is anything else you see (like if you see a pattern of certain inappropriate behavior or more sexual questions or gestures). The main thing is being clear about what your boundaries are. Like how you like to be hugged, etc. And see if the person respects them.

p.s. I'm also a little confused by your story, not sure how many therapists are you referencing, two or three.
