I’ve had t’s that take the “neutral” posture when it comes to crying. I think the thought behind that approach is that comforting can sometimes communicate “please stop crying”. T’s who believe in this approach want to give you the space to do what you need to do

I personally do not do well with that approach. I too was able to sob into t’s shoulder recently and it was very healing for me I don’t do blank slate very well
