I have been seeing my trauma therapist for 1 1/2 years. In the past few months she has taken to hugging me at the end of every session. Some days I can deal with it, others I cannot. If I refuse to allow her to hug me, her comments make me feel guilty like I am letting her down. And, she will bring it up next time. I have been diagnosed with C-PTSD. I have severe trauma and an aversion to the human touch. I have observed her with other clients, and she hugs them as well, but they don't seem to be bothered as much as I do. I have tried to discuss this with her, but I always end up feeling that I have done something wrong like I am denying her closure to our session; it is as if the "hug" is for her benefit and has nothing to do with me. One of the things I am working on in therapy is setting boundaries, but she refuses to let me set this one. All of this makes me extremely uncomfortable and is having an adverse effect on my therapy.
