I've been in therapy for about 15 yrs. off and on, and NEVER cried once! I always wished that I could. My family is reserved and I grew up not learning how to express my feelings. I so much wished I could cry in therapy. My T said t hat I did not have to cry for therapy to be effective. I used to cry when I left the session and at home.

I think it's about being vulnerable and not feeling comfortable having my T see me that way. But I let her see me being vulnerable in other ways. With me, it's also something about not being comfortable with physiology--physical stuff coming from me.
