I have been in therapy a long time and it has taken me (get this) about 10 years to be able to cry and feel emotions. Before that I was pretty much frozen. I could talk about abuse and everything else and not feel anything. The only time I cried was when my therapists retired or left. After working with my 5th or 6th therapist I started getting in touch with emotions. Now I cry whenever I need to. I like the onion analogy. You start peeling layers of the onion and when you get to the core of the onion you start feeling emotions but it takes awhile and a lot of trust to get there. I have also been in group therapy and it took me even longer to trust in there enough to be able to cry. Those of you who can't cry I tell you this. You will get there just keep trusting and being honest.
Thanks for this!
