I have to agree with Daisy. It would seem important to discuss this with her when you see her next. I hope she clarifies what she meant exactly - it's a nice thought you could just sit there a while in her office until you felt ready for the outside world again. She sounds like a very caring therapist.
I feel a little envious. There was one session some months ago when I completely fell apart crying. I was shaking and had no composure and sat there like that, head in hands, for 15 minutes and he said nothing apart from one comment "what's going on?". When the time was up, I stood up, still crying and glued to the spot, and he did little short of push me out the door. I've not cried since (I don't cry often anyway) but I doubt I'll let myself be like that again in his company.
I'm glad that other therapists are more compassionate but am sorry you are finding therapy so painful.
