I couldn't agree more with you on every point you have made. I think what struck me first & foremost is the absurdity of the question itself. What is so unusual about someone crying in therapy, let alone someone who is depressed?! I wanted to applaud the person whose comment was to ask the client. Not to have addressed the situation with the client in the therapy situation also strikes me as absured...& it was also a missed theraputic moment. Reflecting "I see you are crying." and a simple statement like "Tell me about your tears." or "What are your tears trying to say/express?" could have enriched the therapy session in a myriad of ways. All of this confirms my belief that good therapy is an art...&, unfortunately, not every psychologist is an artist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
