I cry in session now. I feel safe with T to do that. Sometimes I still push the sadness away though or avoid entire topics. It's because I get afraid to feel it, like it will engulf me in a way I can't manage. T reminds me that sadness is not depression so that helps me to open up to it some. He responds well with, silence, empathy and/or words, ideas of comfort. Of course sometimes we go deeper into it.

I think crying in front of someone else can include a trust for them and myself that I'm still working out.
