Yes.
This is a part of it that I wasn't quite getting my finger on or my words around. I don't see crying (in therapy) as an indicator of progress or not.
That doesn't mean that my t doesn't or shouldn't see it as a behavioral indicator of progress or not. More that something in that the idea of crying as some kind of yardstick doesn't match my idea that crying is just crying and isn't a measuring tool.
Here is the value of tossing ideas around with others.  You hit a nail on the head that's at least part of what I am puzzling over.
