> Um, i don't know. i remember about 3 months into therapy i told her i could never cry in front of her because it would be awkward. i said she would just stare at me and i wouldn't like that. sometimes, when getting into repressed memories i have needed to cry but held back. i have maternal transference, and never felt comfortable showing emotion to my mum, so that may be why.

that must be hard :-(
well, I guess there might be something to talk about there..what would mom do if you cried?

he might ask me what is going on/what I am thinking/feeling at that moment, he gets a little gentler, and I feel like he's "there" with me. I've done some serious sobbing in therapy and at times some crying for some time afterward...that sucks, leaving in that kind of state. I don't mind crying so much, that is when I can find some relief in it. I don't cry so much these days, kind of wish I could.
Sometimes people are afraid of tears, the sadness gets uncomfortable. I think the tears have just got to come sometimes.

take care,
sid :-)
