I've been crying in every session lately. I didn't used to cry all the time, but lately everything I talk about is just overwhelmingly sad. It generally feels terrible, but my T is very nice about it. She generally tries to carry on the conversation. Last session, I couldn't get some words out because I was trying not to cry, and finally I just said, "OK, I think I better give up trying not to cry." She said, "I think it would be great if you gave up trying not to cry." That felt good. Although crying through the following conversation felt bad. To me it always feels like I'm being self indulgent when I cry, and that I should be able to be more stoic.
