> What do they DO? They obviously don't touch you or hug you or anything. Isn't it kind of weird?
I haven't ever cried in front of my pdoc or therapist, but I have come really close. There is a box of tissues by the couch in my pdoc's office. I imagine he would just offer me one. I can't see either one of them hugging me.
>Also, on the flipside, what about talking about really traumatic things but shoiwng NO emotion? I feel like such a stone
That sounds like a defense mechanism. I do the same thing. It's easier to describe traumatic situations accurately while dissociating from them. I usually cry later.
