> Regarding therapists crying.. mine cried in my very first session-- I don't think it was a real session, more like the interview session. But she hasn't done it since! Maybe it was her standard marketing ploy.
><<<Wow! It's like she "cried on the first date!" If she were my girlfriend I'd dump her :) I don't know, I might be quite turned off by a therapist who cried the first time we met and interviewed. It would show a pattern of poor self control in my eyes. I need a "manly-man", someone who doesn't cry, especially since I rarely cry. But, it also shows a lot of compassion as well. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I suppose they are good at picking up on that. But, if my therapist cried the first time I interviewed with him, I wouldn't be seeing him today. What a shame that would be. Different strokes for different folks.
How did you feel when she started crying?Wait just a second...I just reread the post... Only the first time.. Have you discussed the subject matter in greater detail to her? And she hasn't cried since? Maybe her hormones where out of whack that day or something.... Sounds suspicious though... I would think something wasn't right, but I don't trust people much...
