There is another thread "are hugs sexual?" that people may want to read. The range of experiences and preferences stated here is wide. I'm at the keep-firm-boundaries end of the spectrum like just a few others here. Attracted to and resentful towards people in authority generally, including my T, so rigid is good.
T offers some sessions in home office, convenient to my job...can't imagine how desperate I'd be to ask to use bathroom there. I just go to a nearby store afterwards if needed. We terminate sessions on the dot of the allotted minutes. No touch/hug. All good. Tried asking a minor personal question once and got Ice Queen treatment. Ouch.
Then again she mentions things and places that she encounters outside sessions that might be of interest based on our past discussions, which is thoughtful.
So...Generally T shoes positive regard and interest while holding firm boundaries as to meeting space, session closure, and nontouching. Good for my situation.
