I cry several times during almost each session since a couple of months and even if I know therapy "is the place" to cry at and it´s seen as normal to show all kinds of feelings I at the same time realise that so much crying wouldn´t be seen as normal if it was "outside therapy".

It´s not that my T shows there´s something wrong about it but I feel I end up at session and cry like a little child over things that won´t get better even if I cry over them. I for example cry about me being unemployed and as most adults find work, go to work and cope with that I feel like an incapable child that cry instead of doing something.


I have done a lot but it hasn´t been enough but it can easily be perceived as feeling sorry for myself and going into "child mood" which I partly do in therapy. Not that I act like a child or talk like one but more the feelings of helplessness.

I also don´t like dependence on my T that come with this, I´m not a child and she can´t fix my problems like with unemployment. At the same time as she´s very supportive it´s like she supports me on something that I as an adult should be able to fix myself. Like finding work, having an intimate relationships.

Can anybody relate to this?
