Have you ever cried in therapy? (Either tears or full out crying)
Yes I have. My last session was my first cry. It started out as a few tears and then it was a much more harder cry. Not a sob but close to it. I had held it in for so long that it was a flood of tears.

How does your T react when you cry?
My T said "Its ok to cry" "Its safe here" "You are safe with me" "Tears are good". She did a good job comforting me. She sits next to me and holds my hands.

How long did it take you to let go and cry? (Not exact but just a guess of time).
Years. I spent so many sessions holding it in and changing the subject even when the subject needed to be talked about and I should have talked about why I was having that reaction.

Do you think it's normal for a client not to cry even when talking about painful things?
Yes, I think its normal. Some people are not criers or are scared to cry. Its hard being that vulnerable.
