T cried once but was very responsible telling me about how it happens for him sometimes although he tries to not cry because he doesn't want to take the focus off of me or make me feel like I was suppose to take care of him. Talked about how it is part of the humanistic approach. He then brought it up the next time we met to check in with me. He was very responsible. I had told him I was sorry about his dad (who was a high functioning alcoholic) and it just hit him in the feels apparently. Clearly his issue. Initially I was fine. Later I got weirded out by it though. And told him so. Maybe that's why he's scaled back on his level of sharing. Kinda sad, It always seemed silly to me-therapy is not done in a vacuum. There is two people in there, and it effects BOTH people. How can it not???/ It's kinda ******** that we pretend it doesn't or it's "not therapeutic" Sorry-I digress-my issue.
