I've broken down in a major way a few times. It really varies according to the session. . .anything from no tears. . .to a few tears . . . to silent steady crying. . .to blubbering. . .to anguished cries from the soul that make it hard to draw a breath. Since I try so hard to be in control and reserved with my emotions, I do feel surprised and concerned after I really let go and wail. Strong emotions actually still really scare me. But I think it's normal.
