I will cry from physical pain, not generally from high emotion. This is because I am more protective of the emotional core; I do not easily expose that to others. If I yell, scream, or cry in pain, well, that isn't so unusual as to attract much attention. I can allow myself that even if I shut down emotionally. However, I am gradually learning that with the Mistress it is safe to be vulnerable. Much of what she does in the day to day is designed to show me that she can be counted on when I show hurt. So with her, physical pain can trigger emotional catharsis, a cleansing feeling that goes way beyond the reaction to pain. It's something for which I am profoundly grateful. And yes, it's very special to be held and cossetted by the Mistress, when that is what I need. I worry about her needs, but I love her for holding me.
