Hi falls,
Oh, I am so much like you about wanting people to "ignore my tears." I used to actually say that to my T..."I'm sorry I'm crying...just ignore it." He would always reassure me that crying was okay, and at times would aske me what it meant that I wanted people to ignore my hurt.I also tend to cry a great deal through sessions. It's funny, last time though, I didn't cry as much, and then at one point I started crying. I said to him, "and now I don't know why I am crying now" and he said he was wondering too. Usually I know. That was kind of weird.
Boy do I go through the Kleenex.
On the other side of the couch, I tend to hand people Kleenex if they can't reach it and seem to want or need it. I always tell people it's okay. I have hugged someone before at the end of a really difficult session, but I do that rarely. I guess I'm more of a holder with my voice. At least I hope that's how it feels. I occasionally get teary eyed too, but surprisingly, I can manage that a lot better than outside of therapy sessions at work. Good thing! Who'd want a blubbery T? ;-)
