Thanks. I can relate to what you write about like "compensating" for not crying that much during childhood nor adulthood. I have never cried at any therapist or counsellor before except for when I got frustrated with the person herself and in situations when I know I would leave and didnīt come back anymore.
I agree crying to some extent can feel relieving and my T says she sees is as being authentic and honest. I though sometimes feel like too much crying isnīt constructive either, I now refer to myself, that I sit there crying instead of us discussing things.

What I find though is that the me I cry the more positive emotions I feel and the more energy I have. I've learned to "enjoy" crying in a certain sense.
