I can’t imagine that I’d ever want a hug from my T, but I’m pretty sure he’d say no anyway. He once equated hugs with email responses, saying something about how they don’t really solve anything, but just give temporary reassurance. This was part of a conversation where he was explaining why he would no longer reply to my emails. I understand his logic when he explains it, but it doesn’t stick. Sometimes I just wish he’d reply to my emails. So I can understand how if a hug was important to you, a T’s logical answer might not be enough.
