My T has never touched me or any other client that I have seen coming or going. Once we talked about a notoriously huggy social worker popular in my city, and he seemed appalled that people hug clients. I cannot imagine hugging my T, even though he is my own age etc or maybe bc of that. His wife also seems super possessive, decorating his office with a huge picture of herself . He seems a little sheepish about it. I would struggle with being married to a T, I think, even though I am not an especially jealous type. He is bombarded with confiding & different degrees of "love" from female clients all day. It would be hard to imagine how a hug would go, that wasnt inappropriate after such intense sessions(?). That probably says more about me, than it does about hugging lol. Also maybe from watching In Treatment!
