My T is very into "following the rules" when it comes to being a T. Like I asked her if I could ever have an extra session if I needed and I would pay out-of-pocket for it. She said no because if my insurance ever found out, they wouldn't pay anymore. I asked her how would they even find out. She said that ethically she is required to take note on every session. So she is strict when it comes to ethics. Maybe that's not ethics? But she still follows the "rules".

But she hugs....

My Pdoc also hugs (though she'll bend the "rules" a little if she has to).
