I went to my first therapy session and it went well. She has been working with people in our community for a long time. And I really like her she was awesome. So I am texting my wife about how well it went and how much better feel and some things from my past that we did not discuss came into my head and I started crying. Wtf was that about. I've always been emotional. I cry at movies. Etc.... But I almost felt like crying while I was there and almost could not stop once I started when I got home.

I had a check list when i went to my therapist

When you wear you heart on your sleeve for so long it is easy to let emotions out faster then we think. All in all it looks like you had a good appointment

All I can say is, get used to it! And maybe stock up on some tissues.

Many girls including me have experienced a 'big cry' that can come along, with release of all the pain, emotion and feeling from years of repression and dysphoria. It can take you by surprise and last a while. It sounds like you've experienced a taste of that.

And aside from that, welcome to being a woman.   Heck, I cry most days, over a variety of different reasons.

  I cried for a month over any little thing and in the end it did help to release a lot of built up tension.Always have a tissue handy you never know what will happen.

If I cry on two occasions in the same day, well I wasn't feeling too emotional that day.

What everyone else said. It's all been bottled up inside for so long that relief and happiness and sadness for what might have been and god knows what else all just starts gushing out.

In my first few days my SO was painting my toenails and I starting crying and we ended up weeping together for ages.

I'm really glad the session went well for you
