It took me a long, long time to cry. I've seen my T now for six years. I don't remember when I first shed some tears, but I'm pretty sure it was longer than a year. Even then, it was just some minor crying. This past year is the first time I've actually *sobbed* in front of him. Like, I broke down and started sobbing uncontrollably for ten minutes in emotional agony.

I'd wanted to cry for a long time, but I've trained myself not to cry in front of people. It takes me feeling extremely safe before I can do that. The only other people I can do that with are my husband and my best friend.
