My T has expressed anger at the people who have hurt and failed me. I have also seen T tear up a lot when I talk about my childhood; I've thought about this and pondered why. Maybe it triggers something for T, or maybe she is expressing what I need to. Sometimes when she sheds a tear as I talk I think, 'huh, maybe it really was sad and upsetting'. Maybe T is teaching me about my feelings by showing me, like parents would with their children??
I'm ok with it, it makes me feel that she understands and cares about me.
Her tears are never over the top and never becomes a topic of conversation. They just are.

I did find their over reaction useful or comforting. I did wonder if perhaps I had been overly dramatic when I described things to create such a response from them.

I'm not sure whether I would like T to have an emotional reaction to anything I say. In a way it would maybe make me feel more as if my history matters, but I suspect I would be a bit uncomfortable if he were to seem sad or upset about anything I said. (I don't think I have any stories to tell that might evoke such reactions anyway, but I know that it's hard to be sure what might seem strange or upsetting to other people.)
