My T says "Its ok to cry" "Its safe here" "Tears are healing". She makes sure I know she is there and to not be embarrassed and she holds my hand. After a session of crying she gives me a pretty tight hug. I was terrified to cry in therapy and now its the most safe place to cry for me.
I hope you are able to cry and you feel safe doing so. The first time is always the hardest and then after that its easier to let the tears flow.
