I have not cried in therapy. I am afraid to. I have told my T this. I am afraid of getting to upset and then having to leave. There have been a few times where I can feel the tears coming and I change the subject and gain my composure. My parents raised me to think that crying is weakness and no one should see you like that. Crying also wasn't aloud when I was growing up. My T is a very safe person and her therapy room is a very safe room. I feel like its safe to cry there. My T has teared up a couple times and I talked to her about it and she said it was a blessing we could be emotionally connected like that and that I wasn't the only one vulnerable in the room. There is a tissue box on the table next to my chair. I fear the ugly cry as well. I also know I cant talk when I am crying and that would waste the session. I have cried on the phone with my T. I don't know if she knew but it was easy as she could not see me.
