I guess I just feel like with my t is one of the few times I can cry? I don't really know, I just thought everyone did it, actually.
Another completely opposite thing I realized is that some people have said that their t's hug them/touch them when they get upset. My t throws some tissues at me, and keeps going-not even acknowledging the fact that I'm crying, and has never touched me-ever-and we've known each other for a solid 2 1/2 years. I guess I'm sort of jealous. I would like a hug from my t.
she does call me "honey" though.
So my questions are:
Do you/have you cry/cried at therapy sessions? Do you regularly?
and
How does your t react? Does she comfort you? Or just keep going? If they comfort you, does it really make you feel better?
Just a point of interest,

I have one time. There was no comfort or reaction really. She did just keep asking questions and continued with the session. I am sure there is a reason why they do this instead of comforting. Somebody else might have better insight. Probably they just don't want us to think they are there for comfort but more for helping us find our own comforts in our life. Just thinking out loud.
