I have never had my therapist openly cry, but there was once or twice when he took off his glasses and wiped his eyes... now I can't be sure that it wasn't allergies since I know he has those too, but I think that he was touched at those moments by what I was saying. That felt appropriate to me, and although I was a tiny bit uncomfortable because I was worried he wouldn't like it if I made him sad, it also felt really empathetic that he could be touched by what I was saying. What's the saying? "Different strokes for different folks"?
