I pretty much only cry in my real life when I am really mad or frustrated. I've cried a tiny bit in therapy only twice but I well up a lot. I just hold back the storm.
When I do that my Therapist usually asks, in his most gentle voice, "is it still not OK to cry here?" His voice alone makes you want to break down. I tell him it isn't the place, it is crying over all the old stuff. I struggle to not let it get to me like that.
I have, however, had a totally sobbing melt down when on the phone with him. But he couldn't see me...maybe that is the secret?
