I highly recommend it for anyone (but especially women). The things I had been carrying around needed endless air and open sky. So many rape and incest survivors suffer because no one believes them. We stood and looked at it until it wasn’t time to do that anymore, then we gathered ourselves and walked out of the forest. I never tried it, and over time, I was able to fully engage in therapy. One time my psychologist verbalized that I made her so sad because I looked like a 9-year-old boy (when I'm 50). I caught my therapist wiping away a tear after I'd expressed some painful material, and I'd been crying myself. I got my basic story out, but couldn't evoke emotions about it, other than depression. I think this is a great article and something that should be further explored. You have just always thought there was, but there isn’t! ABM: I certainly do not think a therapist needs to cry to be helpful to their client, and based on our research, it does not appear that a therapist needs to hide his/her tears in order to be helpful, either. I loved reading your comment. And not just by her, but by life, by the universe that was allowing us to do this. If you are in distress, please call 9-11 or your local emergency number. I had explained this to my therapist unaware that the disclosure would result in the plan we had together hatched.
It helped me to feel she "got" what I was saying and provided a stronger connection. He has teared up a couple of times when we have been talking about a very painful and difficult childhood episode. Together, we make this community great.
My therapist rarely said a word, and certainly did not seem emotional. But some therapists resist emotional expression, and some clients don’t like weepy therapists.
I liked that. But one can become too unanxious. The first one, I was a little surprised, and thought this is MY problem. Drawings of my mother’s body that I knew too well, her body sewn up with cancer, her body dead, drawings of things I had no words for. I cried for over an hour and wondered what the steps are for filing bankruptcy. I found cereal and tofu and had some vague sense that I could combine the two with hot oil to create something crunchy and nutritious. If he just sits there impassively, I have no idea whether he even understands or believes me.
I told it to stay put.
And this did not scare her. Two years ago to the month, I had slit my wrist. I have seen several therapists over the years and it was only recently when discussing painful childhood memories that the MSW providing counselling cried, she quickly whispered something about alergies and we continued on. Might we be showing weakness or codependence with our clients? I have seen 3 therapists since 2014 due to moving and changes to insurance coverage. However, several of our participants spontaneously included comments about their own experiences of having their therapist cry when they were therapy clients and in each of these cases, the experience of therapist's tears was positive for the client. A deep, dark world opened up on my arm. Nothing gets rid of people like a suicide attempt.
This therapist was not treating me like another client. I picked up the pieces of bowl and took them toward the bin. I told them I did not. On the other hand, as our research showed, some therapists do cry in therapy (even with regularity), feel comfortable doing so and, from their perspective, feel that it can have a positive impact on the treatment relationship.
Where life, people, and the things that happen when they get together had somehow pushed me toward nonexistence, this woman had drawn me closer. I would rather my professional maintain enough emotional distance between us that she does not also experience my pain. At twelve I did not feel a part of my family, I was not one of my peers, I was not of this world.
Help is available. I did not believe she was right, but I had an awful sense that she might not be completely wrong either. And when a parent hits a child, she does not hit back, rather she tunnels that force inside her small body and turns it into a reason that her parent is perfect. It is human, and I would never shame her for it.
In that spell of stars and quiet it was simple: everything that had ever existed came from there. I have complex PTSD from a childhood of emotional neglect, as well as sexual, physical, psychological and spiritual abuse.
