When I walked in to the office, there was a young adult girl who was going to take notes/shadow him so she sat in on the session. I sat down and just got really, really sad and angry so I walked out to go to the bathroom. Then my actual T (not the man) followed me out and gave me a big a hug while I cried in her arms.

I've had multiple dreams like this where there was someone else in the room, either another client, my parents, or someone taking notes and it always makes me super upset.

Part of me wants to go into my session today, start EMDR and just completely break down and have T hold me while I cry. It's not even that I'm sad all the time, I just want her to embrace me while I'm hurting. However, I can't shed a tear in therapy even if I try so it's not going to happen.
I find that I can be super emotional and cry at the drop of a hat the days before my session but then be completely unable to shed a tear in my session, its so frustrating because usually I'm a mess when I leave and days after. I seem to struggle to let that vulnerability be shown with T
