The hug was normal, nothing remarkable about it. He didn't squeeze me like he sometimes does, I think he wanted to be particularly gentle with me given what we had been talking about. I understand what you say about the desire for touch being greater than the touch possible in therapy. Hugs have become part of our routine now, normal for us, and I think for me that allows them to feel more okay, and enough, because I know what to expect. It's like an infant thing again I think.
