There seem to be a lot of threads going on right now about attachment/trust/dependency/vulnerability related issues.

I'm the kind of person who won't shower with her sex partners and who responds to "Why are you crying" with "What?! I'm not crying!" So, I'm kind of confused. What does it even mean to be vulnerable with your therapist and be able to trust and depend on him/her in a healthy way?

How much is too much? I think there's such a fine line between allowing yourself to be open and vulnerable and feeling your emotions and completely losing it. But where is it?
