((((Amanda)))): Sending you hugs, sweetie! As humans, we all need to be touched and feel loved.
I don't think there is anything wrong in a t giving a hug (if you go into Dr. Zur's website, you will see he has different thinking than most t's....and I agree with everything he says.
There are so many rules and regulations in the t business, that it can become cold and inhuman.
My t and I have argued/discussed the hug thing many times. In the beginning he would hug me hello and goodbye. Then he stopped the hugs....we go back and forth; I have even given him articled on hugging, and that it is therapeutic.
I think for my t it is sexual. I told him that for me it is simply a human need and NOT sexual at all. He said he only hugs kids and little old ladys......
I am alone after 31 years of abuse, and am a huggy, kissy, touchy feely type of person....I need and crave hugs.
It's a fact that babies will die without touch, but we as adults won't die, but I souls will......if we are not touched.
Wish i could come right over and hug you for real, dear little friend.
Love and HUGS, HUGS, HUGS, Sassy
