I don't think your reaction is particularly unusual. I had four or five T's before my current one, and when they asked if I wanted a hug I was both creeped out and confused as to why they would think I would want a hug. It is only my current T that I have ever wanted to hug--- and that didn't happen until a year into doing attachment work. For others, I can understand why they would never want to hug a T. I mean, I don't want to hug my dentist or my physician. A professional cuddler is meant to cuddle you, just like a massage therapist is meant to give you a massage. It's their job. I may not want those particular services, but if someone does, it makes sense to go to a professional who offers them.
