Aww... I always thought that it was de rigueur to hand over the box of tissues when someone starts crying. I have cried in the offices of more people than I'd like to admit, and even if the box is as close to me as it is to them, they always pick it up and hold it out to me.
BUT, if it makes you feel any better, my current psychologist does not. Of course, when I "cry," I am not sobbing or anything (at least not when I am there in his office), but sometimes I get a few tears dripping down my face, which I usually try to wipe off with my hand. So I thought, maybe he knows that I am embarrassed to be crying, and is therefore not going to acknowledge the fact that I am crying... Ha ha. That is the kind of wishful thinking I have. It's because he doesn't care. And mine would probably not touch me with a 10-foot pole, either (except, one time, he looked like he was starting to reach over, but then he stopped himself -- but maybe that was just my imagination again).
