Your responses are all so nice.
I *think* even if he would have answered that he does not hug, he made the atmosphere one where it wouldn't hurt too much to hear it. I would have been sad, but I don't think the feeling of rejection that I worried about would have been so intense. (I *think*.)
Yesterday, we were talking about all the different offices I've seen him in. He was kind of referring to how long it's been and that we've seen a lot of different places together. I brought up the fact that at two of the offices, he shook my hand, and at another one, he put his hand on my back as I was leaving. They were all pretty difficult sessions. He seemed surprised that I remembered and brought it up. Sometimes, I get the feeling that just maybe my therapy isn't as cookie-cutter as I sometimes believe. I mostly tend to think I'm nothing different or special to him even when he tells me otherwise.
Anyway, I digress.
I really appreciate all of your support. Without this board and its posters, I wouldn't have the relationship with my T that I do. And it's a good one that I wouldn't have wanted to miss out on.
Take care everyone,
Laurie
