It sounds as if both you and your T are getting more comfortable in your relationship (you allowing tears and acknowledging holding back, her drawing you out a little more). From what you write it seems at a good pace for you.
I have only been seeing my T for about 2 months individually, but she was my couple's counselor before for approx 8 months, so she is still very tentative with me, (or maybe I with her?). I don't hold back my tears, but if she asks for more info or for me to elaborate more on an issue and I say no or shake my head no then the topic is off the table. She is very gentle about this which has been very good for me. I do think that this approach is "for now" with us and I think as time goes on, and I develop trust in our relationship, I won't be so quick to reign things in.
Take care.
