I've been seeing this therapist for about 2 years now and she would always hug me at the end of a session, would put her arm around me as we walked out, and would rub my back when I was upset and even when I wasn't upset. I instantly noticed that she has stopped touching me completely and it has been this way for about 6 months...she hasn't touched me once. We have an outstanding therapeutic relationship and she has helped me immensely. We are both female and she's old enough to be my mother though. Sometimes it's a like a mother-daughter relationship. At one point I did think she was experiencing countertransference because she started to compare me to her daughter (and still does almost every session) and even mistaken me for her daughter once. She's also mentioned how she wishes I were one of her own. Any reason why she may have stopped touching me?? I prefer being comforted through touch. She's a great therapist though. I'm just really confused?? It's been bothering me. Any of your thoughts would help.
