I'm not sure how I'd make it work if I had to (or opted to) wear a mask. I don't know if I'd cry considerably less or would just spend much of an emotional session with a tissue near my eyes and covering them if I started crying. For whatever reason, I don't tend to have to blow my nose that much when crying unless I'm really sobbing, but I guess I'd have to figure that out.

I did meet Dr. T for a few outdoor sessions last year in a public place (people sitting at tables nearby), and I teared up briefly for a couple of them but was able to control my tears because I didn't want to be sobbing in public. I also mostly avoided topics that are more likely to cause tears for me, or at least didn't go that deep into them. So I am able to control tears in therapy if the situation warrants it. But I wouldn't want to feel like I had to do that every time.
