Really interesting to see how many T's actually do give hugs. I always thought it was such a no-no. I do think hugs can be a good thing when used properly. I don't understand how it happens people after a few years though. I would have thought T's either give hugs or they don't i.e They may be the type of person who gives them or else they don't give them as they view them as unethical or a boundary crossing etc.. It surprises me that there is movement on it for so many of them but maybe that is very black and white thinking. I do like to hear that some T's might not give them at the start but after discussion and considering the client's needs etc they do. Shows that they are hearing people and reflecting and not just in the 'This is what I was trained to do' or 'This is what my supervisor told me so that's what I do' My T doesn't give hugs but it is not something we have really discussed. I just presume not. Hhmm I'm realising that I am jealous of you all who have T's who do hug.
