It is often better to be contained. It wouldn't be good for a therapist to be reactive, i guess soothing could be good for some but not you I see..

My therapist sees crying as sort of acting out. Sounds strange, but it doesn't bother me. I cry in therapy maybe every other session. It often happens with body memories, so it can be really short lived, and happens in tandem with fear attacks usually. Other times, it's not PTSD related.

Hope crying was somehow relieving for you.
