But I'm a bloke, perhaps the rules are different for you.
I did once lose it during a routine checkup with a nurse though. I don't know which of us was more embarrassed.
But It's been a long time, and I don't remember exactly.

Good luck, and I hope that the therapy helps,

I cannot go near certain subjects as i just break down. I think it does matter to a certain extent but i dont think its anything to worry about. I cant cry infront of my therapist but last week i did because i went near the subject of me overdosing. wasnt nice, it took me ages to tell her i had overdosed but i did it. Im not sure if this is what you meant x
Therapy can be strange sometimes, I don't know what it's like to have a male therapist because mine is a girl, but some things are just hard to say to a man I think, you may disagree I dunno.
Are you are person who cries alot generally? I'm quite a crying sort of person so I just let it out. And just to say that it isn't a weakness to cry even though some people think it is, it makes certain people feel vulnerable, maybe that why you don't cry in therapy??
I hope this has helped!
It's really tough to do, but you need to let your therapist poke around in the uncomfortable places and, yes, it might make you cry in front of her. No one will think any less of you for it.
I find it difficult to talk to people im close to so it's possible that you feel like you are being judged even though he isnt judging you. Everytime I go into my session with my councellor, I constantly feel paranoid about what she's thinking and have to be constantly reassured that she isn't judging me.
Maybe you need to tell him that you feel scared of crying coz then maybe he can help you in someway.
I have told my councellor about my suicidal thoughts and she has just helped me through them, she would never take anything further without my permission.
