Tears You Don’t Understand Might Be Telling You Something

Ever had tears suddenly show up while doing the dishes? Or found yourself crying in a meeting and thinking, “What is wrong with me?”

You’re not broken. You’re carrying unspoken emotion.

At Wild Mountain Counselling, we often help clients unpack unexpected tears—and what’s hiding underneath.

You Might Be Crying Because Of:

• Accumulated stress: Your nervous system is overwhelmed
• Unexpressed grief: Sadness from a loss you never processed
• Emotional suppression: You’ve been “holding it together” too long
• Hormonal changes: Including menstruation, postpartum, or menopause
• Shame or guilt: Often linked to old patterns or past experiences

Why the Tears Feel “Random”

Many of us were never taught how to process feelings safely. Instead, we store them. Over time, they leak out—through tears, irritability, or emotional shutdown.

Crying is your body’s way of saying: “I need to feel this now.”

Therapy Can Help You Understand (and Regulate) Your Emotions

Through a safe, judgment-free space, we help you:

• Make sense of your emotional patterns
• Connect your reactions to deeper needs
• Learn to feel your feelings without fear
• Build tools for emotional regulation

You don’t need a “good reason” to feel. You just need support to understand why you do.
