Thank-you for this thread - sometimes I desperately want to cry, but I can't let myself - I even told my T not to leave the box of kleenex next to me at each session as it feels like that is the "goal" to get me to cry - so it is great to read that:

a) others have taken time to be able to cry in front of their T
b) their T was really supportive, or actually they felt supported even without their T doing any more than just being there.

I do think my T would probably be supportive - will post again when those dreaded tears show themselves.
