Only the last two crying sessions.... but that's totally out of character for her.

I sure understand your reasonings as far as her stopping the tears, but that's not the case...I still cry. Once I briefly fell asleep... but it's always happened near the end of a session, where I felt she knew I needed to calm down before I left. So, I did eventually calm down, but not right away. The timing was good, because it was a way to ground me before going back out in the real world. I HATE nothing more than leaving therapy upset. I don't like to be in a bad place when I leave...and yesterday I was. The last session where I cried and she kept her distance, I also was. Therapy is typically the only place I DO cry...and I'm betting it has something to do with just feeling safe and comforted when I do. I know I should learn to comfort myself...and I do have some self-comfort strategies that work half assed.... but it meant a lot to me that she cared enough to give a bit of herself when it was needed. I'm really getting a bit tired with therapy anyway....it's not that there isn't enough to talk about. There is plenty. I just get tired of talking about them. She says you gotta talk about things over and over again to face them, and move on from them. But I'm getting bored. And if I'm not crying, I feel like our sessions are just general chit chat. Hey,I greatly appreciate the "easier" sessions she thows out once in awhile...it's a nice break from the hard stuff.... but I've not been quite so scared of the tougher sessions because she's shown me I'm not alone in talking about it.
