I'm sure she meant nothing bad... But she should not have said that. Psychotherapy process - including hugs - is just between you and T. She shouldn't make any comments.
But - again - I'm sure she was trying to be friendly. Seems she really likes you.

If I saw my T hugging other client, I would die of jealousy...Hugging in waiting room sounds strange to me.
We've never discussed why this happens in the waiting room, really. I've always assumed it was for liability purposes. Maybe I'll ask to change that. She hugs other patients in the waiting room.

I was jealous,too, when I first started seeing her...when she would hug patients good bye but hadn't offered it to me. I wondered, 'What's wrong with me?" I thought it had to do with my previous bad therapy experience. We talked about it and she said it was up to me.
