Sorry you had a rough night Chopin.

Therapists have different theories about how they react to crying. Quite a lot of them are not "comforting" when the client cries because of various theories and approaches.

When that one I see mentioned crying with her (and even writing it is still unsettling to me) and said it was useful to have someone there with you while you cried. I do not imagine she would be actively comforting in any fashion.
The reason I mention this is perhaps one needs to check with the therapist and find out what the therapist does when a client cries to make sure their reaction meets with your expectation.
Thanks for this!
