It's one of the reasons hugs are so important to me in therapy and is an actual requirement. I feel so ashamed about a lot of things. Especially my T knowing my secret. But if she's willing to hug me, then on some level she still accepts me. Like imagine hugging the most disgusting person you can think of. Then imagine hugging the person you love the most. Two different types of hugs, right? You can tell by how they hug you. That's why my T and I always hug after each session. It tells each other that everything is okay btwn us.
