So yesterday's session was emotional to say the least and I could feel the tears. I hate crying in front of other people especially T. There was too much time in the session left. I looked away, I felt myself getting red, I gritted my teeth. I couldn't talk, he let it go on for a few minutes(seemed like forever). Then he gently asked me, what I was thinking (he knew I was trying not to cry).

It took a minute but I burst. You see I have a lot going on and I also am having trouble getting rid of an abusive roommate (Its my apartment). I am feeling intense shame from crying in front of him. Allowing them. Maybe wanting him to see. I'm angry at him for letting me cry, he could have stopped me. Ive already called him..I lasted months without crying, maybe a little voice cracking but no tears...

I'm sorry things are so rough right now for you Frowner you are doing a wonderful thing by getting some support. For what it's worth I can relate very strongly to everything you're saying about having intense shame about crying in front of T. It is really hard to feel that way. I hope knowing you're not alone may help a little. Try to be patient with yourself and remember T is never judging you if you cry. It's really tough but he's there to help and values seeing all your emotions. What also helped me some is looking deeper as to what I was really so ashamed about, where that was coming from. It takes time and gentleness with yourself. Hang in there

Hug two AH
