Is it normal to cry at therapy?
Is it normal for people to cry during therapy, or is it just me?

It's absolutely normal. Therapy provides a space where you can be free to express yourself and experience all of your emotions fully. Crying is a form of release, and many people feel like they do not have any other space where they can let out their emotions. Crying can be a healthy way to be present with your emotions. While not everyone will cry during a therapy session, you're not the first, and definitely not the last.

If you are currently feeling suicidal or are in crisis, call 911 or proceed to your local emergency room.
