I shook my T's hand the first day I met her, and we haven't touched since. I'm not a touchy-feely/hugger person at all, and I'd never initiate touch. It doesn't bother me that we haven't/don't touch. However if she were to hug me I would be happy to hug her back. But that's more because it would be a sign of emotional closeness, not because I crave touch or anything. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!! That's just not me.)

I once had a friend grab my hands as they were shaking and hold them when I was having a panic attack. It was very comforting. I have not had a panic attack in the presence of my therapist but if I ever do I would hope she would react in the same way.
