Re: needing a hug being refused, wish it didn't hurt

I don't understand why she would give two different answers like that. Maybe that is something you should take up with her at your next session. I'm sorry she didn't hug you. I will. (((liz)))

My therapist never hugs me. I've had handshakes before and touches on the back as well as the good old "shoulder pat" but never a hug. He mentioned once, when I told him how very unsupportive he is, that he has had the urge to hug me on several occassions, but that would be crossing boundaries. And I understand completely, though it would be nice to get a hug :(

I'd ask her why she refused to hug you. I'm sure it will lead to a good discussion. Maybe she's trying to reinforce boundaries?

Good luck!
