I'm a cryer, but I hate crying. It's always a precursor to a breakdown, so I try to fight it as much as possible. I also hate crying in front of people. I'm an ugly cryer: face swollen and red. I don't usually get snotty, thankfully.

I've been with new T for 4 months. I have at least shed tears in almost every session. I'm kinda at a disadvantage though because my ex-T's abandonment has really traumatized me. So anytime we talk about ex-T the tears come. Two weeks ago was a horrible session for me and it had nothing to do with ex-T. I balled my eyes out. T didn't even offer the kleenex which is on her side of the room! But last session I didn't cry, so that was good. Next session however, we will be talking about ex-T... More crying is in the forecast
