Just so you know, a lot of therapists would say no to that just as a general policy. You can find all different theories on to hug or not to hug if you search "boundaries" and "hugs" on the internet (I have come across that while researching some other things about therapy). Some Ts will just automatically say no to that, because of the dynamics, fear of crossing boundaries etc. So it wouldn't be a personal rejection, just a policy.
