My therapist does not give hugs or hold my hand when I am crying. There is no physical contact. I have bugged him about it in the past but now I am okay with it. It is his boundary and I imagine he thinks I have probably been touched enough by men in authority positions. I am curious about other people's therapists though. Does your therapist hug you? (Note: I am female and my therapist is male. We are both hetero.)
