It wasn't fresh. I had shut myself off from that part of my life for so long I was used to not feeling anything but fear, anger, or indifference when talking about it. It wasn't that I didn't feel safe enough to cry, it wasn't that I didn't trust her, it was just that I didn't feel it within me. Perhaps this is what is happening for you.

This is so true. It's not that I don't trust T or I don't feel safe, it's just as if the tears are hidden and just don't come when talking about the painful stuff. I had a session a day after a family member passed away and didn't even shed a tear. But at home I was bawling my eyes out.
