dizgirl - we have this in common. I can totally relate and understand this as I have been there.

....to answer the question, when I've cried in session, my therapist is quiet for a bit (doesn't offer the tissues that are sitting right in front of me) ... then eventually asks me what I'm feeling.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
