pink, my T never shook my hand until I started bringing my husband with me. At the end of the first couples session, as we were going out the door, T shook my husband's hand. I thought, well, this is interesting, he never shakes my hand, but then he reached to shake my hand too, after my husband's. But I actually got a two handed shake. Husband got a regular one hand shake, I got both of T's hands on mine. Hee hee, guess I'm special. This pattern pretty much maintained itself for the duration of our couples sessions. Once they were over, T went back to not shaking my hand at the close of sessions. I think it was a guy-to-guy thing, and since I was present also, T felt he had to shake mine too. Weird dynamic! Of course, I have gotten some sideways little hugs from T too (but never in the presence of my husband) and a couple of frontals. But overall, we don't really have a touchy thing going on. Usually, there is no physical contact at all. The hugs have been only after really intense and difficult sessions that were really hard work, ones where we felt particularly close.

You never shook my hand. What the %#@&#! is wrong with you?"
