Like Red75's friend, I need a T who hugs. I brought it up first session. Luckily my T is okay with hugs.

I did ask her one time to hold my hand. She wouldn't. She said she only holds her daughter's and husband's hands. It's a boundary and I respect that.

You can ask your T for an explanation, but otherwise, it sounds like it's going to be a firm no to hand-holding.
