Today was the first time I've cried in front of my current therapist. I mean...really cried. At first I was trying to hold back the tears because I feel weird crying in front of people, but after talking about some things I just started to cry and let it out. At that point I couldn't talk anymore, so my T did some talking. I was a little surprised that she didn't hand me a tissue or anything, but afterwards I felt so much better. After crying and letting it all out, I just felt so much relief. I feel like it was sort of a breakthrough that I allowed myself to cry in front of her, not worrrying about how I looked or what she might think. So I'm hoping this will help me open up more to her and get some more things out that I just need to talk about and I'll probably cry some more, but crying seems to really help me get things out.
