I'm a woman and I've hugged a former T, only about twice and only when she became my former T. She initiated the hug since I hadn't seen her in a while, this was in the clinic. I wasn't expecting it since I assumed T's weren't allowed to hug. I recently hugged her because again I hadn't seen her in a while. I think she remembered my first confusion when she hugged me the previous time. I initiated the hug this time and she seemed a tiny bit surprised by it but welcomed it. My mom was with me and she hugged my former T also, which my former T seemed less surprised by. I have not hugged my current T, I've only seen her for about a month or so. She seems pretty professional but we have a friendly rapport, so I could see her hugging me if I cry or something . I don't see myself initiating the hug since I don't really crave hugs or even physical interactions. I've only recently become a bit more affectionate with my mother, which she complained about.
