I don't exactly know how to ask this question. It came from another thread where someone was talking about how their T was upset because of their story. And I am wondering if anyone else has had that happen? Has your T expressed their own sadness/tears/sorrow over what you have gone through?

My T has said that she understands what I am feeling, but I don't know how much it really affects her emotionally. Is it a mental acknowledgement that it would be upsetting to go through something like that? Or is she sad about what I am talking about? I don't know the answer for her, but I haven't ever seen her tear up or anything. Maybe she's just heard so many stories at this point (she's been a T for 20+ years) that nothing really phases her by now.

Anyone else have any stories or experiences regarding this?
