In reply to needing a hug being refused, wish it didn't hurt, posted by metalflipflop on January 8, 2004, at 23:02:06
Liz,
I'm sorry you are hurting. It sounds like that hug represented many things to you...
Most Therapist do not hug anymore...too many law suits. Plus, they can be misunderstood so easily...which is why she probably said you would need to talk about it and there wasn't time. Imagine - a long hug, a tight hug, a hug with a small rub on the back - any of these could lead you to believe the wrong thing. Try to see it as her protecting you and your relationship with her.
When you go back,can you talk about how you are feeling? I bet you miss her. And, the first Holiday without your dad is rough...I'm sorry for you. I hope you were able to call up sweet memories about him.
Hang in there. Vacation is almost over.
