I cry quite often in therapy, though it took me a little time to get there. And I still sometimes apologize to my T or marriage counselor for crying, which I know is silly. Otherwise, I try to reserve my crying for when I'm alone. Though tonight I cried in front of my husband (who obviously is also there when I cry in front of MC).
What Leah said about sadness being under anxiety makes some sense to me. I know when I'm having a panic attack, if I can somehow get myself to cry, it helps relieve it. I think some of it comes from my trying to repress emotions. Which I can let out in therapy, because it's (usually) a safe space.
