I think sometimes it depends on if its a female client male T, or female client female T (or other combo, you know...) I would never feel comfortable asking for one from a male T, but when the kids had a female T, and she did family therapy with us, she was so personable, and we were in her home, and we met her husband and dogs, and she asked me to do something with a group of hers - not therapy related, and I would just go up to the door and hug her. Didn't even give it a thought! It was like hugging an aunt. Funny how things work that way.
I guess if you want one, and it's on your mind, you might want to try to bring it up, and see what they say. Good discussion for therapy.
