I told my T that if he would just give me a hug, I would be fine, really fine. I meant it. I will never get that hug, and I'm sure it wouldn't be what I expected, but... maybe that's why my T hugs me now.

I know what you mean about feeling like the hug would make you feel better regardless of what you expect it to be. Isn’t there something inherent in a hug from the right person that offers some sort of acceptance?
I think talking about your hugs would be a lovely way to get back into your sessions. I'm glad you don't have to miss her anymore.
