In one session with my therapist, I revealed a lot of my history to her. I was surprised at how emotional I got since I am generally very stoic around other people. Tears did run, but it wasn't all out crying, I was more in a super high state of anxiety. She was empathetic and understanding, but not overly reactive to what I said. But I could also tell that it impacted her.
