^ I feel like that, too. Especially for those of us who were not raised to handle emotions in a healthy way/ who had parents who certainly did not console us when we had those emotions and rather were callous. Why do the therapists act so callous? That’s how I interpreted it. If they had even explained it’s a therapy technique where they are intentionally neutral, I’d have at least understood. Though I wanted some compassion and validation or at least some acknowledgement that I am a human being.

If we feel very sad, we cry. It is a normal, healthy emotion.
