I think I need to clarify that my T did not shame me for asking for a hug and she has been nothing but validating empathetic towards me. The conversation about hugging was basically put on hold because I was starting to shutdown. My T has asked me before what I would like her to do in those situations and I said I think it would be best if we change the subject so that is what we did. I don't want to find a new T as I have a good connection with this one and I have learnt a lot from her. Also, as far as feeling more depressed after the session, I was kind of teetering on the edge anyway and even the slightest breeze could tip me over. I also started on a new medication a week ago so that would not have kicked in yet. I think there are too many factors here to put all the blame on my T.
