maybe if you tell him how comforting it was to be touched, who knows, he might progress into hugging you at the end of each session. If you've never talked about touching then he never knew if you wanted it. If the therapist is open to touching it always has to be the client who initiates it. Maybe he's an open one and he gives out hugs regularly to other clients and you didn't even know it! so, if you tell him, it might open a whole other door for you that you didn't even know existed. (that is if you are comfortable with hugs. for me it isn't even a question!!!)
