Nobody is saying you have to cry in therapy. I rarely cry in therapy. Woody Allen said in Annie Hall, fifteen years and he never cried.

But. Theres always a but! Going in and giving just one word answers? Thats acting like the worst student ever, isnt it? I cant imagine you acting that way with your teachers. Do you do that with your parents?

Its like the only place that it is safe for you to be yourself, to not be intruded upon, is in therapy. No words enter you, no demands for grades, no germs or illnesses can get into you. Youre not an idiot, youre a genius. You protect yourself there.
