I guess I would be a little uncomfortable if my T was full out crying with me (though I haven't full out cried yet...just teared up). I have seen my T tear up once but I was straight faced at the time and it was one of my first visits with her that she did this...Later we talked about how I was uncomfortable crying and I didn't know what to do with myself when other people around me cried, so she hasn't even teared up since. Tearing up doesn't bother me so much...I guess she expressed some sadness over what I was telling her during that session. I thought it was weird and uncomfortable at first but after the session, I realized that it really validated my feelings about the situation, whether I was showing that I was sad by tearing up/crying or not. So I think a T crying would be weird, but showing that they are sad with you? I found that validating.

How do you know she's not just hiding them somewhere and would be ready to pull them out if needed?
