Have you ever cried in therapy? (Either tears or full out crying)
YES Both "ugly crying" but usually highly but badly controlled tears
How does your T react when you cry?
He looks really sympathetic and says "it's ok" really softly. Last session I held out my hand in a silent plea to take it and thankfully he didn't reject me. He did seem surprised though
How long did it take you to let go and cry? (Not exact but just a guess of time).
Probably 8-10 sessions in
Do you think it's normal for a client not to cry even when talking about painful things?
There isn't a standard reaction. Everyone copes differently. In order to talk about difficult material many have to emotionally detach in order to do it
