Re your comments above, (and you probably know all this already being a T in training), but instead of trying to verbalise your pain, perhaps you could draw it instead. Sometimes even a big black harsh scribble can convey so much more than words.
Was it Daisym who did the art therapy some time back? Sorry, can't remember. But maybe something like that could be useful for you to utilise at the moment. Not with a separate T, but taking the stuff into your current T.
I hope your crying helped relieve some of your pain.
