When I get emotional my therapist will look empathetic, almost like he is trying to imagine what I'm feeling and feel it at the same time. He might ask what I'm feeling, or lately he'll say a couple things to acknowledge he sees I'm sad like "it's a lot to feel." He'll move closer to me, sometimes grabbing tissues that are right by me, or a couple times sitting next to me and hugging me. He'll give me space to be sad for a bit, so sometimes it gets a bit quiet but it's never felt like he was ignoring my feelings, more like a hyper focus on them.
