How do you let go in therapy?

I thought I would start another thread since this is about something different.
I am so scared of breaking down and crying in
therapy that I think I avoid going to places that I probably need to go.
I was never allowed to cry as a child and doing so know makes me so embarrarst and vunerable.
I know my T doesn't hug, so I am afraid he will just stare at me if I cry. I am afraid I will not stop and totally lose my mind.
I trust him, so why can't I trust him to see me cry. Only my DH and kids have ever seen me cry. I know he won't physically hurt me if I cry, not like my mom. Why can't I let go? I am not okay, I am not ready for termination. But I guess if I don't open up to my T , he has helped me all that I guess I am allowing him to.
