I HATE crying in therapy, but it's highly encouraged. I still fight it. My T used to sit by me and let me cry on her shoulder....but she stopped that, and I try harder than ever not to cry in there anymore. I know that support was available at one time and it helped me not feel so "dirty" about crying. Crying was a punishable offense when I was growing up, I guess it sort of just stuck with me. So honestly, the comfort and understanding I received while crying helped me feel more comfortable about letting it all go. But I hate to cry in front of people, and I rarely cry alone, either.
