I know what you mean by this. I do cry sometimes in session. But then other times, I'm talking about something I'm really upset about, but don't cry. So I wonder at times if he thinks I'm not upset as I really am. One time, as I was talking, I said that I probably seemed really casual about what I was talking about, smiling and joking around, so it probably didn't seem like it was actually that distressing to me. And he said that's common as a defense mechanism. So I think T's realize that our outward emotions don't always match our inner ones. And sometimes the tears hold off until I'm the car on the way home or later that night.

Not sure if this happens to you, too, but sometimes I don't realize how upset I am about something until I'm talking about it in session and start crying. At times, it seems really random, like I've talked about more intense stuff without crying, then addressing something seemingly minor leads to tears streaming down my face. So that sometimes can make me realize it's something I need to examine more, like "what's going on here?"
