Got stunlocked by that question when I started crying during a therapy session. Therapist noticed that I choke up so badly while crying that I can't speak and just wanted me to notice it too. "Does it feel like you can't share what's going on inside you because nobody's going to listen?"

Fuck all the way off. That was so helpful but so so so painful to recognize.

    ugh, I hadn't put such succinct words to it but I experience the same thing, makes talk therapy really difficult. There's the part of me that feels like if I'm crying I need a REALLY GOOD reason for it and if I don't, I need to stfu so whatever I say in the moment isn't thrown back at me. I guess it all boils down to trusting someone else in a vulnerable moment... so fucking hard.
