I don't know if it's a necessary thing, but I don't have any choice in the matter, it seems. Although I am not a crier in other areas of my life, I dissolve in the face of issues related to what brought me into therapy. I too have cried buckets, and there are many long stretches when I cry most every session. I don't like to do all this crying. My T asks me why not, but it makes me feel too vulnerable to dissolve so regularly. Sometimes I (unfairly) blame him because it seems like he just pushes a button and the tears start. I don't think that all my tears have been helpful, but they have been inevitable.
