I've never cried in session (in 5 years of therapy with 2 different Ts), but I wonder what would happen if I did.
I freaked out once and thought I was about to have a panic attack. I said I needed some silence to pull myself back together before we could continue. She as I had my head down and covered with my scarf. When I was back together again she was watching me very intently. It sort of scared me because I wondered what the heck I looked like--Im sure I looked crazy!
If I did cry, I think I would want the same thing--silence. I wouldn't want her to say anything, I wouldn't want her to come sit near me or touch me. I think that would make it worse for me.
