Hi. This is something I too experience. In my very first session I nearly cried because it was only a couple of days after a beloved pet had died and there had been a couple of deaths in the family not so long before that as well. However as you do in front of a stranger I sucked it up and fought through the 'breaking voice' phase, never actually crying. We are now a year down the line and despite having covered some pretty rough topics I've never again even come that close. However My T and I have been working on the issue of me not particularly trusting him or the process , and given that crying is about allowing yourself to be vulnerable it makes sense that the trust issue is one of the things stopping this. When I eventually do cry in front of T I will take it as a positive reflection on where our relationship has got to. Just hoping it doesn't take too much longer.
