My last session was very unusual - I didn't cry!
Most of the time I have scattered tears running down my cheeks. I don't take a Kleenex unless my nose is running, as well. I count the number of Kleenex I need (he doesn't have a wastebasket next to my chair - I think he should) and that tells me how hard the session was.
Occasionally the tears will get heavy, and I have to pause before I can go on. Once I got hysterical, and was crying really hard. I had trouble talking, and I would put my head back and close my eyes to try to limit the stimulation into my brain. He was hammering me about something and everytime I closed my eyes he would tell me that I needed to open them so that I would be listening. That was an awful session. It is interesting that we are talking about that session and we saw the "argument" completely differently (I heard that he wouldn't let me talk about what I wanted to talk about, we had to talk about his topic. He says he has never told me I couldn't talk about something.)
He completely ignores the scattered tears, and so do I - just one of those things that happen.
