There's a box of tissues next to where I sit in box T and marriage counselor's offices. So I don't have to ask for them...except a few times when I used them up. (I actually figured out that when there's only a few tissues left, the tissues are a different color--which neither of them had realized until I brought it up!)
I cry pretty often in therapy (particularly with T), so they're used to it. When I cry, they just tend to look at me in a caring way, sometimes continuing the conversation, sometimes waiting for me to continue. (For some reason, I tend to apologize to MC if I'm crying a bunch, and he'll say it's OK.) Occasionally, lately, I've noticed that T has some tears in her eyes, too, when I'm crying, particularly with certain topics. I find this to be very touching because she's clearly emotionally invested in me (but I also feel bad making her cry). A couple times, MC has taken off his glasses and rubbed his eyes when I've been crying--could have just been his eyes bothering him or maybe he was trying to hide tears, not sure.
