I have to confess that I see no particular purpose in fostering an obsession in a client by refusing to give a hug and making it into a huge deal instead of something that, in this area at least, is often a social nicety. (I hate that!)
But I guess I can assume it's because I don't understand the overlaying meanings that a hug can bring.
What if it wasn't any big deal? What if was? What if you picked up some unpleasant odor that might affect your opinion of your therapist?
I guess there might be more to a hug than just a hug.
But maybe there isn't.
