I read here and then I feel disappointed that my experiences with my therapist don't compare.

What are you really disappointed in? Is this somehow triggering a feeling that you don't deserve to heal, or that you aren't doing enough in therapy?
It can be really easy to look outside of ourselves when we're unhappy with our present situation. This board may exaggerate some things, because it is not an complete representation of what is happening.
Like with the hugging and hand holding. I have posted here about how some touch has been healing for me in the room. What was left out of that post was the 100 (approx) sessions leading up to that moment when T and I both stood for a hug. Then the next 10 sessions of processing that one hug. Then the hours and hours of thinking about it on my own... One post where I say 'I had this amazing connection with T today' does not really show the HUGE amount of work it took to get there.
It sounds like you have a great T, and that she is creating a safe place for you to heal. Whether you ever actually hug or not, just talking about the desire to be hugged can be really powerful.
Lots of virtual hugs for ya!
