Ex-T (female) hugged me sometimes. It was a few years before she offered though. At first was just a "holiday hug" right before Christmas. Then she kind of would touch my arm or shoulder as I was leaving for regular sessions. Then if it had been a particular difficult session or we'd made up after a rupture, she'd offer. A couple times, I asked for one, but I was scared to (she said was always OK), but I didn't know how often it would be OK. I think over the course of 6 years (with no hugs first 3 or 4 years), we hugged maybe a total of 25 times?

Current T told me at the end of our first or second session that he's not a hugger, but would shake hands if the client wanted. So we shake hands after every session, which probably sounds really formal, but it's actually nice. It's a very warm handshake.

Ex-marriage counselor always shook hands at the end of session but never hugged (I used to want to ask him for one at termination, but...I didn't, especially because of how things fell out. I suspect he would have refused anyway).
