When I first started therapy, I never cried. But I also didn't cry in front of anyone else. I spent a year *trying* to cry with one of my therapists. She felt safe, and I think I thought it would be cathartic. Never happened. With my second to last therapist, I got to the point where I cried all the time. It was awful, just really, really awful. I felt totally out of control and it was in no way cathartic.

With current T, I cried a little in the beginning, but haven't really for the past few months. Crying with her feels ok, though it's still uncomfortable at times to feel like I"m being stared at while I'm weeping. Crying is such a weird thing if you think about it. Or at least I think it is.
