i also struggle with crying, i cried for the first time after 8 months in.... i was lucky though because he held me and let me cry on his shoulder, which was crazy powerful moment for me.... i haven't been able to cry since though, i do my shutting down habit again
i would say just hang in there, its ok to talk about it to her or just journal about it, maybe after a few days you will feel differently, i sometimes do. it was great you were able to cry though

Yeah she just sat there, because it was kind of burst of emotion there was a point where I was like "I'm fine, I'm done crying whatever" and was talking and took a deep breath and started crying again and right before I closed my eyes looked like she was going to get up, but when I looked back at her she just sat calmly waiting to ask what happened, or some common T response after a client cries.
