Yes, all the time. There have been times I didn't have anything specific to talk about and wanted to just sob. The fact that she lets me and is extra nurturing during those sessions is healing because I have a stigma around crying in front of anyone. I also deal with the brick wall issue...

So no, you wouldn't be wasting his time at all. It is a very valid use of a session. It is important to have a safe place to let those emotions out without feeling judged and sometimes that is the only place for that to happen. Sure, we can lock ourselves in a bathroom or hide somewhere and cry alone; but there is something powerfully healing about letting go of those tears in the presence of someone who allows you to do that.
