IMHO, it feels better than physical holding. The feeling is sort of the same, but better. More the sort of holding that you can only get when you're really small and can fit all the way in someone's arms.
I left therapy feeling like I was about to cry today, and I must have made a particularly pathetic sight, because he held both my upper arms. Probably as close to a physical hug as he thinks I'd let him get.
Psychological holding feels much much better.
Weird how tangible it feels.
