Gwheatcubs, I am going through almost the opposite situation. My T has stated she is "a hugger." Ive seen her hug patients in the waiting room. We have talked about touch in therapy....and much of me feels I would very much like a hug, too.

But we've also talked about how I was previously "molested" by a PDoc. My PrevT would not touch me on purpose because of my previous PDoc abuse. I feel that current T would be open to hugging if we established it would be helpful and something I wanted.

I don't know what to do.
