Wow, Laurie, that was brave of you!
I almost think therapists should hand out flyers to their clients detailing their policies on such matters. But perhaps that's a bad idea; perhaps there is therapeutic value in letting each person who needs to discuss it muster the gumption to bring it up as you did.
I never had this discussion with my T, probably because it wasn't something I felt as intensely as you do. But there were definitely sessions when I wished for a hug. And the last time I saw her she asked *me* for a hug!
I hope this was a big weight off your shoulders and that you find the support you need.
