I cry all the time in therapy. I'm not sure it has anything to do with feeling childlike though. Mostly it just happens when I'm feeling sad or anxious or angry...which is a lot of time in therapy. I used to be kind of embarrassed about it, but I've gotten over that. Now I just make sure that the kleenex is placed within reach as soon as I get there.
I don't like the dependent feeling though. I don't like feeling that I need someone who doesn't need me. It's so one sided. It doesn't entirely feel safe because I know that she could decide to quit or whatever and I'd have no say in it.
