If you also want to answer this, please do so as it somewhat relates:

How do you behave in therapy? What’s your personality like? Really chatty? Moody? Quiet? If that makes sense.
only once i have cried in therapy, and it was at an inpatient setting. i was terrified to leave, and bawled for about 25 minutes. my T at the time kept waving tissues in front of my hand, bc i wouldn’t make eye contact, haha. A day or two later, she joked that she won bc in all the therapy i’ve had, i’ve never cried.

in my regular therapy, i’ve almost felt like crying a few times, and usually never bring it up. i did last night for once bc i just couldn’t get any words out, and she oh so gently said it would be okay if i did. I was like “hell no, i’m not breaking my record!”

my personality in the therapy room is very quiet and still. the ragier (my own term) i get, the quieter and more still i get-which my T does know about.
