i sat there...my heart beating a little faster...my lips trembling...my face feeling warm...i hate myself for not wearing something comfy and cozy...i have no sleeves to hide my hands in...i look down on the floor...as tears fill my eyes...omg omg omg...stop stop stop...i cant cry...and get emotional ...not today..not right now...i look up...and completely change the subject...phew..then relax...i can breathe.
this was so so so scary and such a foreign experience for me !!!!!! i had no idea what was gonna happen to me next...i have never cried in front of anyone as an adult. i have never felt so vulnerable. it was so uncomfortable... kudos to those who get through this... i just wanted it to end...i couldnt take it. anyone with me on this? |

It took me a year and a half to cry in therapy. I was so annoyed with myself that I'd done that. I've cried very very briefly since then and still fight it. I feel so weak and selfish.
My t is nothing but lovely, boundaried and appropriate, and it helps. Hope you can slowly feel okay about crying if you need to. |

This is pretty similar to how I feel when tears try to come in therapy. I really hope one day I can let go and be completely myself I front of my T but I have a LONG way to go.
Hugs to you

Like everything else, it takes practice to work well in therapy. You haven't had to deal with those kinds of feelings yet so they are new and uncomfortable. Kudos for getting through them the first time (and not getting up and bolting :-) It all takes time, lots of time, but I found it was worth it in the end. Think of it as a challenge

yep - only my therapist has a desk full of stones and toys to play with. I swear I rub my thumb right through those stones. It has become easier. I think she recognizes how I am triggered and tries to work around it.
Perna said some valuable things about feelings being new due to (perhaps finally) talking about such things. Yes, it will get easier. But I just want to say that there is nothing wrong with getting emotional. No one is going to judge you. There is no award for not getting emotional. |
