I've got the opposite problem. I WISH I could break down in therapy. I never even shed a tear in about 15 yrs. of therapy with different Ts. I wish I could have! I've fantasized about it happening, but I can't get close to crying. I'm very inhibited. As soon as I've left my T's office and gotten out of the door, or in my car, I've burst into tears. Often. I just hold back. I often thought it would be a big breakthrough if I cried in therapy, but my T said I don't have to cry for therapy to be effective. Just thought you might be interested in a different perspective.
