It sounds like you do feel something if you developed a feeling of anger towards your therapist - did you tell her? We've been doing this too, which has been hard for me, but I've never felt angry with him - just a little confused and frustrated that I'm doing something wrong. Mostly I smile and laugh a lot in sessions and he's trying to reconnect me with 'unresolved pain' which I'm not very adept at doing. I'm essentially paying to waste an hour of my time at the moment.
As for hugs, I'd probably punch him if he tried to hug me, as much as I like and respect him. I'm weird about personal space. One of the (many) reasons I left my previous therapist was because she sat too close to me.
