My therapist is very clinical. She's excellent at what she does, but she never shows much emotion or connection emotionally with me. I'm not sure if I like it that way or not. On one hand, I know I'm not dependent on her. I know that I am not clingy or needy to her. And that if she leaves me, it won't hurt as much. On the other hand, I feel like she doesn't care much about me. We never hug. In fact, I have never had a therapist hug me except one time. And it was awkward. I love hugs though. I love getting hugs from friends and my husband. I think I would like a hug from my therapist but I don't think she would give me one, and if she did, it would not be a very strong one.
