My therapist is a crier. This past week in my session as I was telling her how much I've progressed and how happy I am, she was so, so proud of me that it just made her cry, several times. I thought it was sweet. I could see tears streaming down her cheek in a continuous stream. But, my relationship with my therapist is not a typical relationship. She is like a mom to me, and we don't have issues with boundaries. My relationship with her is not a struggle at all. I don't view any part of my therapy as negative, and it breaks my heart to hear how some therapists treat their clients when I have this warm, loving, compassionate therapist who wants nothing but the very best for me. Her crying doesn't feel at all awkward to me. If feels validating.
