We hug at the end of pretty much every appointment. She initiated it when we started discussing painful stuff. She asked if she could give me a hug and I accepted. After a few weeks of her asking we just started ending each session with a hug without her asking. Although we didn't last week but it wasn't until I was driving home that I realized it. We were talking as we we were walking to the door about non therapy stuff. AsI went to walk out the door she massaged my arm a bit...which she sometimes does after a hug. So I don't think it was an intentional that we didn't hug. Touch is a hard thing for me. She knows I will never approach or ask for a hug. I don't want them to feel obligated or to infringe on their personal space.

With newT she did put her hand out for a handshake...
