I don't think it's the gross factor because I have worked in slum areas as well and I have no icky issues. I don't however really know why when someone starts to cry my whole body tense up. Although I have had very deep thoughtful moments of connection with my clients where they are the most vulnerable, but as long as they express that without crying I feel fine.
