Is it normal to cry at therapy?"Is it normal for people to cry during therapy or is it just me?"
"Yes, it is normal to experience many different emotions in therapy because you are dealing with issues and situations that matter to you. Sometimes you may cry, sometimes you may feel joy, and sometimes you may feel relief. Sometimes you might even feel anger. Everything you feel in therapy can be used to help you learn more about yourself and help you grow.",

"Crying in\ therapy is definitely normal. A lot of people, if not most, cry in therapy. Why\ does it happen? During therapy you'll explore your thoughts and emotions. Some\ of them will be pleasant: joy, hope, excitement, etc., so you will smile and\ laugh. Others may be more unpleasant, such as grief, sadness or anger, so you\ may feel like shouting or crying. It's healthy to accept and feel all your\ emotions and to express them in appropriate ways. Crying is a good way of\ expressing sadness, disappointment and helplessness. If you try to cut off some\ of the ""negative"" feelings, you are likely to also cut off your\ positive ones and feel numb as a result. Crying in therapy speaks to your\ ability to relax and let go in the presence of another human being (essential\ for healthy relationships!) and it also speaks to your therapist's skills at\ making you feel safe and comfortable. Good for you! It's your therapy and you\ can cry if you want to!",
