I cry very rarely, and when I do is when I am alone and 100% sure no one is there too see and acknowledge it. I've never cried in sessions but lately when I am with my therapist, I get teary eyes. Sometimes I don't even notice it until she asks if I am sad. It's like I physically cry before I do emotionally (I don't know if this makes sense). By cry I mean, I have tears in my eyes. When she notices that, I start to feel the sadness. Does or did anyone experience anything like that? How do I let myself cry and keep the feelings while doing it?

Thank you.

I never cry whenever I'm infront of anyone. Usually I cry when I'm completely alone and extremely overwhelmed. Sometimes in therapy sessions I get to the verge of crying ( my therapist actually wants me to ) but I hold it together and look away and just cry when I leave her office. She was really shocked at how well I hold myself together because I lost a family member a day before a session and didn't even shed a tear infront of her.
