My therapist cries and she can 120% handle everything I tell her. She's a strong, smart, compassionate woman. Crying is NOT a sign of weakness. It doesn't bother me at all. The times she's cried has been some of the most healing times for me. But, I totally understand that we are all so different that what works for one person may not work for someone else.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
