I would cry nonstop and would be just so overwhelmingly sad, I would apologize, and my therapist would tell me things like, "Look at me, stop apologizing for your tears. You are not too much for me. I can handle anything you tell me. I don't think you are crazy. You are hurting, and I'm here for you." I totally understand where you're coming from.

I also would say things like, "I know you think I'm a weirdo; crazy, silly, etc." She wouldn't let me get away with beating myself up like that. She would gently and lovingly steer me away from apologizing for how I was feeling. Now, she knows the look in my eye when about to apologize, which has become less and less. She says, "Ah, ah, ah...do not apologize."

I totally get how you feel, but know that you don't have to apologize for your pain. It sounds like your therapist wants to be there for you; let her do that and know that apologizing is not necessary.
