I cry sometimes. This is actually the first T I cried in front of. I know her for about 4 years, but I did had a break of therapy when it went better with me. The first time I was in therapy with her, I didn't cry often. I think that was because it was the anxiety disorder that was really bad and the depression wasn't that bad. Now the depression is very bad. And we're also talking about things that happened in the past. I didn't talk about some of those things the first time in therapy with her because I thought it wasn't neccessary.

I don't cry in every session and usually it are just some tears. A few times it was really crying, tears were pouring down my face. I don't like that crying. I don't really like doing that in front of somebody. What my T does also depends a little on how I'm acting. Like if I just cry, don't look at her, don't say anything, she will wait until I'm ready to say something and sometimes she will try to get me talking, like ''can you tell me what's going on in you''. Also when I really cry, I cover my eyes with my hands, like I don't want her to see me crying. She said that I don't have to hide my tears and that I can just let the emotion be there (something like that).
She handles it well.

I don't think a therapist would dumb you for crying. Therapist know that a client can start crying in therapy. Therapy is to talk about things you find difficult, so crying can happen.
