My T keeps a 3 foot rule with all patients. I can't even imagine him hugging in that context, and he is a stickler about rules in general. He takes a dim view of any T allowing hugs, and he seems like strict supervisor when we've discussed. I am out of touch with if hugs might be nice or not, because he is my only experience with therapy, and a Nono off the table so it doesnt cross my mind.
