If crying on your own causes you such distress and makes you disassociate, not crying is a protection for you.

Part of me can see the benefits of crying with T - I know once I felt sad and he asked if I could allow the tears to come, but I couldn't. Part of me thinks if I could, that T would handle it well for me, but I just don't know how to let the barriers down.

Do you ever wish you could cry with your T's rainbow8?
