Therapy doesn’t follow a script—because you don’t. 💛
When you cry in therapy, there’s no “right” response. Sometimes I’ll sit quietly so you can gather your thoughts. Sometimes I’ll offer a tissue—or wait until you ask. Sometimes I’ll help you slow your breathing or check in with what your body needs.
It’s never about making you cry or stopping you from crying. It’s about helping you feel safe in that exact moment.
