I cried all the time with my first counselor. I was just falling apart in RL and when I would get to her office, the tears would just flow. WinterRose, after a while, maybe it was similar to what you describe, a Pavlovian response.

With my current T, I don't cry much. I cried briefly at our first session and sobbed when we did EMDR the first time. But since then, months ago, I haven't cried much. I often feel so good when I am with him, that I can't cry. Plus I have so much bottled up inside and keep that hurt on a tight leash. I'm keeping it there so I can function in RL. I wish I could let it loose with T, but I don't seem to be able to. He seems amazed sometimes I can recount these really hurtful situations to him and appear unmoved. In some ways, I am feeling kind of numb. Don't know how to change that.
