> I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced their therapist crying during a session? Is it normal? can you please tell me about it? thanks<<

---Hi and welcome!
I've been with my T. for 9 months and she's had tears fallen twice-- if that's what you mean by "crying". She had heard some of my life story and then the tears fell.... I didn't know what to do-- I wasn't crying and rarely do. I was uncomfortable and so I looked away from her. (I just recently cried and she said-- "hey, isn't this the first time you've shown any tears?"..... to which I embarrassedly answered-- "I think so, yes.") Emotions make me anxious-- overly happy, sad, angry.... any of them.....

Is it normal for a T. to cry- show tears??? I wonder that too....

it's left me feeling confused...... did I make her sad? did I say something wrong to make her upset?... does my story make her want to believe in humanity less? am I ruining her outlook on things? I do worry so.......
