This is SO me - the exact same thing happens to me, right down to the getting angry, tears well up, lump in throat, chest tightness, then I shut down every time. I don't know why. T and I are working on this - I just sent him a long email with a copy of a post on a thread in here about crying in therapy. Made me feel very vulnerable - I'm a little embarrassed now to face him on Friday but my need is too great to keep avoiding this issue.
Wish I knew what the answer was....
