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

Let me help you find your calm and compassionate place
Sometimes therapy is the only place some people feel safe to cry. Feeling validated and heard in a non-judgmental environment can also be a new feeling for people searching for answers and support. Knowing that you are not alone, and that change is possible can be a relief when someone has been struggling with depression, anxiety and PTSD. I would say that crying in therapy is normal.

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