since seeing T ive had many break downs, I dont cry in public! but apparently now I do...I dont like this feeling of being weak....so my question...does therapy actually make us worse? does talking about our pain just bring it to the surface instead of heal it?

Crying is one of the most healing things you can do. I certainly cry a lot more now I've had therapy.
But I figure humans are supposed to cry. If our society disapproves of crying, then it is society that is sick.
I do most of my crying at home or in the car. I did cry at work once, but I don't make much noise and no one seemed to notice.
If challenged, you can always say you'd rather not talk about it and you'll be OK in a minute.
My therapist once asked me, "Do you feel happier or sadder noiw you've had therapy?" I said, "Happier AND sadder." "Good answer!"
If you start from a place of numbness, then finding your emotions can seem a lot like becoming bipolar.
