No, it's not crying about your "stuff" but sometimes just letting the tears out can be a start. It's just a suggestion.

Good luck!
I have tried that several times. In fact, my T has suggested several movies to try to get to open up emotionally. Problem is when the movies gets too intense, emotional, or chaotic I zone out...gone. I don't even realize I have done it until way way later when I can't remember what happened in the movie. I do keep trying though. I figure one day I will find just the right movie at just the right time and I will be able to stay with the emotion.
