He said he did not think he should, and then he did anyway?

With my therapist, I just asked her after a tough session, but in a passive agressive sort of way because I was feeling so vulnerable. She said she would always be happy to give me a hug if I asked directly, and since then we've made it a routine. Our hugs are virtual as we do long distance therapy, but still help.

My last therapist, long ago, I asked her also, but she said no, she didn't hug as a rule. In retrospect, I should've left right then! Her style didn't work for me at all!
