During my first session with T, I told her hugs are a must. If hugging is a boundary for her, I wouldn't continue with her. She said she was okay with hugs. So I continued to see her. 2 months went by. I was waiting for her to feel comfortable with me to hug me. I thought she would offer. I finally broke down and asked her why she hasn't hugged me yet. She asked me why it was important!?!? After a lot of talking, she told me all I have to do is ask... Of course, I was too afraid that day...lol. But the next week I asked. And now, after every session and sometimes during a difficult session, she hugs me.
