There are different types of crying.
There is weeping, as it used to be called, a sort of gentle overflowing of grief.And at the other extreme there is crying that is like a kind of emotional vomiting.
Tears of rage, tears of grief.
So anyway, if I cried in therapy, my problem would be that I would feel any presumed consequent intimacy as highly intrusive.
In my experience of therapy we just cut to the chase and said 'there must be no contact' (we could agree on that, more or less), but both of us cried too.
