In reply to Hugging and different schools of thought., posted by Skittles on August 31, 2004, at 1:20:09

I don't know that it's specific to one licensing authority or another. It probably has more to do with an interplay of a therapist's particular training (school, supervisors, professors), personality traits, experiences, and theories of how therapy works.

My therapist says he used to hug quite a bit, but the changing climate made it unwise to do much touching with clients. So with him it's probably experience.

I've gotten really comfortable with emotional holding. So much so that his occasional touch (shaking hands, hand on arm on way out door) means far less than the holding he is able to do with his voice and his posture, etc.
