No - I do not get hugs. Sometimes I want one and sometimes it feels odd and exposing to be weeping and have the other person just sitting there. But I think it helps with boundaries and keeps me from having confusing feelings. It reminds me of the reason I am there and that the therapist or pdoc is more than just a friend.

Generally there is no physical contact in my sessions, but sometimes they will touch my back as I pass them in that way of escorting someone. And once I had my pdoc examine a sore on my finger and he did have to hold my hand for that. (Was afraid it was a serious drug reaction - him more than me.)
