I totally understand. I've never cried in therapy and can't imagine doing it. Once, I was waiting for my appointment, and even though the doors are soundproof, I could hear the person before me sobbing and sobbing really loud. It worried me at first because I was afraid it was my therapist! Anyway, I just thought it must be a strange contrast for my therapist to be in an emotionally charged situation and five minutes later to be with unexpressive, impassive me. Sometimes I wonder whether I can even make use of therapy if I'm not emotionally invested. Do you need to cry in order to be emotionally invested? I think therapy has helped me, and I think my therapist is great, but I don't feel that attached to her or to the process. Thoughts?
