My T Hugs Clients!

[Heather]

When I was going to college in Colorado. I had the most amazing therapist. He would hug me at the end of every session. It was such a healing experience for me.

It taught me that touch esp. from a man can be ok. He really became like a father to me, something I didn't have growing up. He also had the best sense of humor and we laughed a lot.

I haven't seen him in about 18 years and I still miss him and his hugs. Knowing him made my life better.

@Heather. I'm so glad you had such a positive experience with touch in therapy, and touch from the opposite sex no less! It's encouraging to hear for sure.

I'm not sure what Ts motivation is for being willing to hug me. It's obvious he is alright with it, as he said he'd do it should I ask. From what I can comprehend, he wants me to know and feel comfort in a safe and positive way. That hugs can heal, and that I really need to allow myself to be loved and healed.
