Sounds like a statement you can take at face value (pun intended) and is a simple fact, too boot. You don't have to angle your phone lens very far to hide your face. Some folks are uncomfortable to be seen crying.

Me, I'm not comfortable being in front of any camera, ever, in any mood. My favorite thing about being a photographer is that it is the perfect excuse for being behind the camera instead of in front of it. Good luck getting me in a video-conference meet-up, even without my hearing issues.

when i was younger i was abused in the orphanage in russia and they put a shower head in my face to make me stop crying. and my therapist knows me sense i was 7 years old and now

I agree with Arfie. It just means what it means... If you' need a minute? Turn off the camera on your end. Turn the phone/laptop away from you. Heck, pause it all and say, "Oh, my battery is low!" (They dont' need to know it's not your phone battery!).... Supoprt.

well i have trouble crying in front of my therapist when i know her sense i was 7 years old

If you do not feel comfy crying in front of your therapist, well, then, a good thearpist respects that. How long you know someone makes no difference in me, when I cry. I often cry better around total strangers, who have no connection to my life, and I won't see again. So metimes, when we know people a long time, a lot is "built into" the relationship.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Hugs.

its ok what do u think about my therapist

This is nowhere near enough information for forming opines about your therapist, but I definitely respect her sensitivity to your plight. It is a good sign.

Men were taught not to show emotion in my generation

I let my tears flow with shame now

We are so wrapped up in looking a certain way

Not ever being vulnerable is impossible

We lose ourselves trying to be normal

We never ever will be like kids who were not abused

I would work in accepting your emotions a d feeling the body sensation rather than judge tears secreted good luck

what do u think about my therapist about what she said

Perhaps she was letting you know that now you're in charge of what you choose to do and how you choose to handle it....

No one else but you.... Big hug..... xo

what would my therapist say to me if i say i might be emotional in therapy

it took me 12 years of weekly therapy to trust my therapist enough to finally just say why I was there==I was in a car bombing abroad when I was 9 that gave me ptsd. Since kids in the USA don't get car bombed, I just didn't want to talk about it since I wasn't a soldier or anything.

All I can say is I could have trusted my therapist sooner. In 3 years I was on my way to recovery enough to be able to come here and share in a group. You can ask your therapist that they mean, it's ok, I found.

what would my therapist say to me if i get emotional in therapy online on facetime sense the covid 19

People come in quite allot of variety and I can't even read my own mind, much less a stranger's I've never met. My most trusted way to find out what someone will say is to ask them directly.

For certain, I strongly opine that a therapist who can't handle raw emotion should look for another line of work.

Trusting another human still feels like an unacceptable risk to me, but I grow and heal tremendously every time I successfully nudge myself to take that risk. The covid hysteria hasn't changed that equation for me.

i cant cry and my therapist knows that
