I am totally uncomfortable with crying. I can't even seem to cry alone at the moment. The thing is I feel totally stupid for wanting to be able to do this! I don't want to be one of those people who start balling at the drop of a hat, but there are times when people expect you to be upset and cry and I can't. There are times when I just feel like I want to explode and release raw emotion, but just can't for whatever reason.
I think my issue relates to my mother somehow too. I embarrassed my mother with my angry and aggressive outbursts though. I think my hang up with crying comes from her frequently being at wits end with my Dad and coming into my room crying all the time. As a little kid i absolutely hated that! I think I just don't want to ever but others in that situation.
Did your T suggest that you work on this, or did you decide this was something that you wanted to work on?
