I wouldn't want my therapist to touch me at all. I enjoy hugging friends, but I have never felt any urge to hug my therapist. I mean, I love him as a therapist, but I like the idea of us keeping our bodies contained to our respective selves.
I don't really like it all that much when people touch me while I'm crying or anything though, so physical comfort just isn't a thing I look for when dealing with emotional topics.
