I'm one of those people who has never cried in therapy with 5 different Ts totaling about 20 years! I've wanted to cry but I think it's because I'm inhibited due to my family background. No one cried where anyone could see them. I can cry easily as soon as I leave the session and get into my car, just not with my T, and I've been seeing her for almost 6 years.

Recently, there have been tears in my eyes but they don't come down. I love when my T asks me "what would the tears be saying if you could cry?" I think that I am close to crying because I don't feel any barriers between my T and myself. I feel comfortable with her, so maybe it will happen. If it doesn't, that's okay too.
