What does a therapist do if you're crying really hard in therapy?

Question

Like if the client is a 14 year old girl and the therapist is a women. Do they just sit there or hug and hold you??!

Answer 1

She's usually sympathetic and offers tissues, I have had counselors and therapists of both genders, and I find women to be much nicer.

Answer 2

The therapists I have with don't really comment on it. They don't really say much about it.

Answer 3

Depends on the therapist. Most of them will just hand you a box of tissues.

Answer 4

they're really helpful. I cried in therapy when my 6th husband died. :)

Answer 5

they make sure you have Kleenex and expect you to disclose your reason for uncontrollable crying,
