I've never cried in therapy either. I told my therapist that I waited until I could cope with my breakup (what originally drove me to therapy) before showing up because I couldn't stand the thought of just coming into his office and bawling. I was always struck by his reaction to that -- that he would have admired my being so emotionally open if I had done that. That seems so weird to me. But maybe that's the way your therapist would see it too. As a breed they seem to have a different take on emotions....

Sidony, I'm glad your T said that. He is in a sense telling you it's safe and okay to be so open with him. I think that is so important. Perhaps that is why I haven't done it yet either.

Besides, what will crying with my T accomplish? He isn't going to come over, hug me and say it'll be okay is he? I feel stupid crying and have him sitting there staring at me...why or why can't we sit side by side! Wouldn't that be easier? Well, it would for me.
