In reply to benefits of crying ?, posted by Shortelise on February 14, 2005, at 12:30:45
ShortE, these are good questions...
For me, I actually give myself permission to cry maybe once a week or every other week. I'm still dealing with a lot of grief issues about my mom's unexpected death almost 2 years ago and I've found that crying buckets over her death allows me to freely release a lot of the sadness, anger about her death, and longing I still have for her.
I believe that crying is very therapeutic and I know that physically, crying releases toxins from your system and actually "cleanses" your body. I think I actually feel better and "lighter" after a good cry.I've never cried in front of my T however; i know i've cried just before a session w/him, while driving to the appt. but i've always been this "composed" client...sometimes i wish i could just let loose though and not be afraid to cry in front of him.
