I would actually really LIKE to cry in therapy, but when I am in there I just cant feel the feelings (sadness and anger mainly). I have no problem feeling them and crying when I am alone, but I am like an emotional statue in the therapy room

I feel it would be really cathartic for me, but its just yet another thing that I cant do.

Does anyone have any experience of this inability to FEEL emotion or express emotion when in the room?
Yes I do too. It is becoming undone however and at times I have cried. In my last session with T I started crying straight away . That doesn't usually happen! And I think T was surprised too as they asked what had happened etc (because I don't cry much and crying straight off the bat would mean something big!). I've been working hard though trying to bring down my barrier to crying. It has helped that I feel so much pressure from every angle that I use it to help me blow in T office.
