I haven’t cried that much in session, I usually cry afterwards. But when I do cry in front of my T, he’ll say something like “it’s ok” in a really caring voice and he looks at me with compassion. I find it very comforting and validating. There has been some physical contact when we discussed ending therapy and I was really struggling. On leaving the room, he put his hand on my shoulder for a short moment. It was the first physical contact besides the usual handshake and it was very powerful.
