Hangingon... I just imagined how I would likely react if my T asked me, "what are the tears about?" It would not be a positive reaction. I think I've heard too many people ask this in a sacastic way. "Ok what is all the drauma about?" Or maybe as a kid I heard..."Are you crying?....Keep it up and I'll give you something to really cry about!"

I don't know how my T navigate around all these road blocks with me. I think when in doubt about how I to respond my T chooses silence. Maybe that's why it felt like there was so much silence in the room at the beginning :-)
