I don't think so because I don't cry with anyone and I don't have ET for everyone! Wondering if it's because I cried, probably, as a preemie, and in those days, they didn't hold babies in an incubator. I used to always have a fantasy that I'd run around the T's office, she would have to stop me physically, and I'd cry. She would be holding me. I didn't have that fantasy with current T. Maybe I can ask to hold her hand when I think I'm going to cry.

Crying in therapy was very hard for me. I spent many sessions just shutting down so that the tears wouldn't come down. I have cried twice in therapy now. I also don't want to be looked at when I am crying and I ask my T not to look at me just to "be there". What really helped me to cry and helps now to comfort me when I cry is to hold hands with my T.
I hope you can hold your T's hand if you cry.
