Today, I went to therapy. I started talking about my childhood and my life. By the time the session was over my therapist was crying. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I've been seeing a therapist after more than 20 years of struggles. I think I saw him cry during our sessions a few times. I guess that my inability to live my life at the fullest was hard earned. FML
Today, my therapist started laughing at me whilst I was telling my story. He said, "Sorry, I can't help it" and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I went to see a therapist for the first time because I've been feeling depressed lately. I opened up and said everything that was on my mind. I really spilled my guts. After a good 30 minutes, her first question was, "Do you always talk this much?" FML
Today, after breaking down in front of my therapist over some really sensitive issues, she decided to also break down. Not about my story but about her own life. I'm not being paid to comfort and console my therapist. FML
Today, I reduced my psychologist to tears. FML
Today, I tried therapy to talk about my problems without feeling like i am harassing anyone. After messaging a therapist for over 2 hours, I felt way better and finally understood. It turned out I'm in such a bad mental state that I'm a danger to myself and others. Police were called by the therapist. FML
Today, my therapist clapped for me when I told her I'd made a friend. FML
Today, I’m going to school to become a therapist. Now anyone I tell that to, they now vomit their life stories to me. FML
Today, I finally convinced my mum to take me to a psychologist. As soon as he sat me down and asked me how I was doing, my mum burst into tears and went on a rant about how her life is terrible and she regrets everything. I was asked to sit in the waiting room. She used up my whole hour. FML
Today, while I was explaining my troubles to my therapist, he asked me, "And don't you have someone you can tell all that?" FML

Or maybe your therapist needs therapy?

I've been in therapy too, but for the ability to adjust to life right now in a wheelchair, but maybe something you mentioned reminded the therapist about something that they experienced.

Awful therapist. My favourite cognitive therapist claims that there's no situation that can't get a little bit worse by selfpity. And wrote a book about how his patient was marinated in pity. Got her nowhere. - i study medicine btw, I don't go around rating therapists... ;)

- she also got one of her therapists to cry, and it made her feel like her situation was un-fixable. It wasn't. Good luck op.

I'm sorry you've experienced things so awful it made a professional cry. I hope you will benefit from your therapy and I hope life will be better for you from now on.

Does your childhood just so happen to be "A Child Called It"?
