THERE'S NO CRYING IN THERAPY!!!

In Supervision class tonight, the teach asked what we would do if our client cried. The other 3 people in class said they would rub the persons arm and comfort them. Then the teach looked at me and waited for an answer, so i said "I would give them a moment and then proceed on and maybe explore why it is that such and such upset them so much". That one passed without too many words, UNTIL she made a comment that sometimes she tells the person, instead of wiping the tears away that maybe they could wipe them into their cheek and maybe into their heart. I think a little laughter slipped out of my mouth with the thought of how incredibly funny that would be, and she turned and looked at me and said "ok Marci, I know this is nothing you would ever do because you don't strike me as the comforting type"..... So I said "You're right, I would go smoke and tell them to get them selves under control before i got back, before I would tell them to rub their tears into their heart."

She might not have liked my answer.
