Is it normal to cry in therapy?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, crying in therapy is completely normal. Talking about difficult feelings can bring tears, and you don’t need to apologize or explain them away.

Therapy can bring up things you’ve been carrying around, and tears are one ordinary way emotions come out. You might cry while talking about something painful, feel overwhelmed, or even tear up unexpectedly. Therapists are used to it; you don’t have to keep tissues off the agenda or apologize for taking a moment.
