I'm wondering how direct some of your T's are with certain topics - like when you're near crying, or when you avoid an issue, does your T call you out on it?

My T at first would gently ask me if I might have deeper feelings on a subject - if I said yes and didn't offer more, she'd leave it at that. She's getting a bit bolder now, but it's nothing I'm uncomfortable with - she recently interpreted a dream I had told her, and I hadn't realized that in the dream, my unconscious was noting the fact that I was holding back in therapy - when we analyzed the dream, she asked if that was really the case, and I realized that yes, it was! Wild. But she didn't ask for more details on what exactly I've been holding back.

But I'm really curious about the crying factor. My T and I have discussed a lot how I don't like being vulnerable in front of others, and how I never cried in front of my last therapist. I even told my T that I do want to cry, because I feel like I need to do that. There have been a few times now when I've been telling T something, and I can feel my face change and my voice quiver when I'm close to crying, but then it goes away and no tears. I keep waiting for my T to acknowledge that she's observed this change, but she never has - she usually just keeps talking to me like normal, asking questions to keep me talking. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
