I am very jealous. *pouts*

I long for touch in therapy. I told her I long for physical comfort. She said if she felt it would be helpful she would (letting me down easy here) but in the long run she doesn't feel it would be helpful to me. *really pouts*

I did get to hug her once though. After seeing her for a few months she had to have surgery and thought she was going to be out a couple of months. I asked if I could hug her and she said "sure!". So I got to give her a hug and wish her well. It was wonderful! (The surgery went well and she was only out a week thank goodness.).

I asked later if she would have allowed that if she had known about my longing for physical comfort (hug, etc) and she said Yes she thought it was appropriate for the circumstances or something like that. I suspect it will never happen again.

I'm so glad your T gives you what you need and what is helpful to you!!
