She has gotten out of her chair and handed me a tissue a couple of times; once she said, I know I'm not supposed to do this.....
(I've heard that in posts here, too, that Ts aren't 'supposed' to offer a client tissues, but I'm not sure why....)
I am ok with how she acts. I feel slightly embarassed crying in front of her, but I don't want any physical comfort from her at all.

My take on the offering of tissues is that it is enabling us. We know where the tissues are (most of the time) and if we need one we can get it ourselves. Otherwise T's are treating us like a small child that can't do that for themselves. Does that help?
