But she moved closer to me, and before she left, she rubbed my shoulder, which made me feel a whole lot better knowing that she might have crossed a boundary by doing that. And it was all because she cared.  :')
The second colleague that came in was VERY touchy however, and she crouched in front of me and put her hands on either side of my legs while I had my head in my hands - SO uncomfortable and awkward.
I'm sure your T will be very supportive though!! And if you need to let it out, don't hold back! I learnt that it's always better just to let it all go - you'll feel calmer afterwards |
That is really awkward! I wouldn't want a stranger touching my legs!
My T is a pretty emotionally expressive person and although she sits on a different couch than me, I can imagine her leaning forward, or moving to sit next to me on my couch if she felt like it would help. It's just that I can feel absolutely terrible and I just don't cry. It's very hard for me to and I feel so embarrassed and self-conscious when I do. It's terrifying to me to cry with others around. I don't let other people see me tear up, let alone break down and really cry.
