I tend to cry fairly often in therapy and marriage counseling. It can be interesting the particular things I end up crying about. Like I'd expect to be emotional about a certain thing, but am not. But then some random topic comes up that I didn't realize was bothering me, and I'll just start crying. Which happened today in marriage counseling. I find it can be illuminating, like, wait, if I'm crying about this, then what's going on there? I need my brain to catch up to my emotions.

Sometimes, though, if I'm upset about something, but am unsure about bringing it up for whatever reason, then it becomes anxiety, like I'll start having a panic attack in session. I've come to realize now that, at least within session, if I feel panicky, it means there's something I need to talk about but am avoiding. So I try to address that.

Hope that helps!
