I think my pet peeve is when they don't understand that people don't always like to be approached or touched. This is interesting so thanks for starting this discussion ATAT.

I can't understand why some of them don't realise a lot of people in general don't like to be touched it's a common enough thing. Therapists of all people should be aware of others boundaries, they should be aware that the mere thought of touching another could induce someone into a frenzied sweat.
They are trained in these intricate dynamics of relating to people. It's a mystery to me but as someone says here that we don't know we have crossed a boundary till we bump into the electric fence.
I remember my second t used to hug me all of the time and I would just freeze up because I was tops armed to move.
