I would absolutely love a hug from my T. But I don’t think he’d go for it. He just doesn’t strike me as a hugger.

As for emailing, I used to email my T up to a dozen times a day, easily. Plus text. He’s never asked me not to, and if something is important he will reply, but I certainly don’t expect him to reply to everything. I’ve tried to cut back on emailing him - I ask myself if this can wait until our next appt. But I too need that connection. I get it. It’s hard.
