i always feel touched when she cries. usually, it's not really crying exactly. her eyes just fill up with tears. it happens almost once a session! i know that sounds crazy, but i love it. sometimes i ask her why. other times, i just ignore it. she's completely present with me. i never feel like i need to take care of her, although of course i'd like to. she's just a very emotional person.


> But how do you react when your therapist cries? I guess I'm just not good in that type of situation. Usually if someone is crying I want to hold them to comfort them. I'm sure that isn't going to fly. I guess that's nice but I'm really hung up on feeling like "a sympathy case".
