no it is not normal a good therapist can show empathy, be warm and caring in order for a therapist to be helpfull he or she should be emotionally stable, and mentally healthy if possible, at the end of every session, you, the patient, should leave the session feeling somewhat relieved, and feel that you have achieved some goal in you treatment how do you feel, when u leave and your therapist is crying, that is not healthy for you and the therapist your therapist may have good intentions, but sounds unstable i am afraid that i misread the question i thought it meant a therapist was crying during the session not after i dont think that is that abnormal if it eases tensions for the therapist then that's not so bad however i am not sure if i would share this information to my clients because of how it would effect our therapeutic sessions

so many people in psychology, neuroscientists etc are interested in the fields because of personal reasons.
When i was young my parents went to marriage counselling for about a year. My little brother and i had to go sit in for a few sessions with my parents.
The counsellor working there said that he deals with people's deep problems every day, so many clients.
he explained to us that he tries to find time every day to go sit in a room by himself and cry to get all the negativity out that he has to deal with, to keep himself sensitive and not become personally desensitized to human emotions that he has to deal with on a daily basis professionally. He said it was healthy for him.
Though, he didnt cry in front of us, I did find this peculiar and is really the only thing I remember being said during any of the sessions I attended.
So, maybe it is odd, but maybe not uncommon.

First please tell us if it's a physical therapist or a psychiatrist.
I smashed my hand and undertook therapy where the therapist was a wonderful girl. Your problem might be one of these:
1. Therapist sees no further improvement.
2. Therapist loves you.
3. Therapist is nuts.
Take your choice.

The danger for both therapists and psychiatrists is attachment and that might explain it. However, I am not a psychiatrist and I often cry after a difficult patient....a cry of relief. One patient drives me up the wall...when he is scheduled in, I develop a headache, and drag my feet as much as I can...he drives me insane...everything must be explained in crystal detail and my assistants are hounding me because I am behind and people are waiting....when the door closes, I cry tears of joy.

Never heard about it but now I'm just wondering whether it's normal that a therapist can make you cry each time you go and see her?

I had a psychiatrist fall asleep once when I was telling him I was so depressed I could hardly go on. Absolutely true story.

Are you sure he's not laughing until he's crying? That might explain a lot.

Mine laughs. I don't think either would be normal. I think they all are nuts.

Oh yes that is a real good sign that he is stable and doing good by you.
