Hi, HappyFlower.
For me, the reasons for my inability to cry in front of other people is twofold: the first is that I was trained not to cry, no matter what (and it sounds like you were, too). The second is an offshoot of that and has to do with how hard it is for me to be safe.
I have been with my T for 21 years and I can count on one hand the number of times she's seen me cry. But I have been able to do it on occasion and I hope you will allow yourself that comfort, too. Someone else on Babble (maybe Daisy or Dinah?) said that her T can hold her without physically holding her. Maybe that would work for you with your T?
I hope you find the comfort you need soon.
