> Have all the crying therapists been women? Maybe it's a female thing.
<<<My therapist is all man :) he he.. but when I told him I might cry stated he may cry with me. That's why I'm a little agrivated. I'm not sure how to handle that. I don't like it when people cry, let alone men. I don't normally hold strong to traditional values, but I just don't like it when anyone, especially men cry. I wouldn't know what to do if he did start crying. If he began sobbing, I'm afraid I may be tempted to slap him. I think I would feel as though he was mocking me in a way. Maybe that's it. Guess I won't know for sure until it happens, if it happens. But, I hardly doubt he would mention it unless it is likely.
Blasted crybabies!
> I would truly truly hate to have to process my therapist's feelings, as much as an expression of caring would feel good for a moment.<<Here, here! But, I'm not thinking of it as feelings as much as motive! Why is he crying? Is he sympathetic? Is it a game to see how I react?
