I'm really curious how other peoples Ts respond when you cry in therapy, whether it's just a slight tearing up or full blown crying. Lately I seem to cry in every session the past few months. I never used to cry, and if my eyes got watery, she'd ask me why and prod me. Now, she basically ignores it, whether it's a little teary or a lot of tears. Maybe she's tired of me crying each time, I don't know. She doesn't try to console me. She doesn't even offer me a tissue or tell me if there are any. Actually, I don't even know if she has any in her office. I'm sure she has to. I should no by now to bring my own - lol! I stupidly wipe my eyes constantly with my sleeves or hands.

I know that it's good practice to not interrupt someone when they're crying because it shuts them down, but shouldn't she at least offer a tissue?
hi surya,
my therapist has tissue boxes in her office and whenever I start to cry she would put the waste paper basket close by whenever I have my cry feast in front of her. then after the session she would give me hug to make me feel better . she did that to me when I first started seeing her as my counselor last year .
