My T would let me cry and he would make these sympathetic non-verbal noises. I love how he does that. He would say to let the tears come and sit with me while I cried. He would lean forward in his chair, look deeply at me, and project empathy. And feel the pain with me. After I had cried a while, he might ask, "can you tell me what this is about?" He would not assume he knew what it was about. If I couldn't verbalize, he might say things like, "I sense that you have been deeply hurt," or stuff like that. If his statements don't mesh with what I am feeling, I can just shake my head, but he usually gets it. Based on lots of experience working together and trusting him, I can usually get to the point where I can tell him what the matter is, but it can take some time, depending on the hurt.

Jello, I hope you are OK.
