When I initially started crying in therapy I would get mad at myself and angrily wipe the tears away or shake my hands to try and get the tears to stop. I was taught that crying was for babies and it was weak to cry so that is why I did these things. Most therapists will sit there and tell you where the tissues are or hand you the tissue box and the tissues. They don't want to comfort you usually because it shuts down your emotions. Sometimes I had therapists who would ask me to tell them about the tears. During these times I notice that the therapists voice would get softer and you could actually feel their caring.
