Hi, i'm quite new here, and found this very interesting to read. The majority of people have never been hugged by there t.

I have been hugged 3 times by my t. The first time he asked if I would give him a hug as I was quite suicidal at the time, but I said no. I couldn't even look him in the eye. I then later on felt bad and wished I had hugged him, so I asked him if I could get a hug in the next session. He said yes. But I never got it. Was very disappointed.

The first time I got a hug has to be the most memorable moment for me, I have never felt so close to someone in all my life. It was so unexpected, and it felt like it lasted for ages. There was so much warmth there.

The second time I got a hug was when I was going to have a 3 month break from seeing him, so he hugged me at the last session.

And the third time I got a hug was the day I seen him for the first session after the 3 month break.

He shook my hand at the end of one of the sessions, and I hated it. It felt wrong, after I had been given a hug, a handshake is just way too formal, so I was angry at him for shaking my hand.

He makes a point of touching my arm as I walk out of the door after every session.
