Has anyone else ever had this happen in session before, if so did it happen more than once?
I don't know why I fear it happening again, maybe I just need it normalized.
It is not only very normal, it is a very important part of therapy. I think at some point you have to break down, be emotional. I have not done it yet and I see that it as a very difficult thing to do but I am sure I will. I will have to if individual therapy is going to work.

I have gotten very upset including tears in couples therapy. Couples is much more difficult and we have the same therapist for both individual and couples which I am sure complicates the situation but that is not a good example.
