Today was my 'last' session with my T (CBT), and lots of other things had happened during the week, and I literally could not stop myself. The tears just ran down my cheeks endlessly, she asked 'why the tears, what's making you cry, what was it I said?', and I just sat there still crying. She asked if I wanted to talk about it and I said no (at this point it was because I was missing my dad, and there had been more problems at home and college). She said did I want to carry on with the worksheets? I said yes, and I didn't even hear any of what she was saying.
And then it just happened.

I bawled my eyes out. She took the worksheets away, gave me a tissue, and sat closer to me, saying she wished she could make me feel better. I sat there for goodness knows how long and just sobbed. All I could think was that this was the last time I'd be in this room, and it would be the last time I'd hear her voice or see her face. The last time I finished things got bad very quickly, so I was scared about that. And there was so much that I still wanted to talk to her about and tell her.

My T had another client, so she had to leave (I couldn't bring myself to look at her in that state) and she asked one of her colleagues to come in and talk to me and tell me about counselling at my college. I really didn't like the woman that came in - I never saw her face, but it was what she was saying and the things that she said that hurt. Then she went out and a different woman came in, considerably nicer I must say, and I sat there with a runny nose and puffy teary eyes for about 50 minutes. Then I felt sick, so I asked to go to the toilet. She stood outside and waited for me. Then we went back into the room and she asked if she could do anything for me, I said can I write it down, and she said yes of course and got me some paper. I was in there for 10 minutes (she left to give me some space) writing down why I was crying and how I felt about finishing sessions with my T. She came back in, read it, and said she will try to arrange for me to see T again. I started crying again, but this time out of happiness I couldn't believe what she was saying, I was convinced for sure that I would get rejected. My T rang me earlier and confirmed that she would be seeing me next Monday. Both my T and her other colleague were very very helpful and caring and concerned about my well being and my safety and state of mind. The reason why I didn't leave my T's office at the end of the session was because she didn't want to let me go when I was in this state and she wanted to make sure I was alright.

It was SO embarrassing But my T and her colleague were VERY caring and supportive to say the least, and for that I will be forever grateful. (I don't pay for CBT just as an FYI - I got referred by my GP and my T's practice is a charity)

I'm sorry this turned into a bit of a rant; I guess it shows I needed to get that out of my system

So back on topic, that's my story, so has anyone else cried in a session? As in actual bawling and sobbing and stuff If yes, what did your T do? Did they get emotional? Etc..
I'm really curious to know about others' experiences, if you'd like to share
