Will you ever hug your client? Does it link to what modality you’re using? Client population?

I myself prefer not to initiate any hug, but if client requests and we discussed about the reasons behind this request, also when the client is not having intense transference, I would tend to agree for a brief hug. I am psychodynamic and working with adults. My supervisor is strongly against any hug.

Did you ever initiate a hug? If so under what circumstances?
