Losing control and crying and being barely able to speak is part of therapy. Most therapists will sit quietly with you while you try to get enough control to speak. My t tells me to breathe deeply and talks me through breathing until the lump in my throat has passed enough that I can speak. I worried about losing control and crying at the beginning, but have discovered that it's okay. T's don't hate you for this or think you're a loser or get mad. This is what they do. They are accustomed to dealing with clients' sadness and shame and diffuculty speaking. Trust your T to stick with you on this. Developing trust in your T is the name of the game, the whole point of therapy.
