Only once. My T showed that kind of emotion when my sister was dying and I was so very distraught. You asked how did I handle it? Well really, I didn't have to. HE handled it by sharing what the session was bringing up for him. For him, it brought back memories of losing his cousin some 30 years ago. They were very close and he related personally to the utter pain I was in at that moment. It was okay. He's human, and it was comforting in a way to know he truly understood that kind of pain I was in at that moment.
