Hello, I Am 72 Years Old And I Have Been

Hello, I am 72 years old and I have been seeing a psycologist for about 6 years. Apparently, I have been stuffing my emotions, most of my life. My mother died when I was 11, and I was not allowed at her funeral, and I never learned to cry. I cried when I read animal stories, but never cried when my Mother, then my grandfather, and then my Dad, all died before I was 21. I did cry at my psycologists often, and I shook, lots of times from head to toe. My husband of 47 years, and my two children, who are intelligent teachers, make fun of me, when my ....usually now, my shoulders jerk when my emotions come into play....it also happens when I listen to the news, and other things that involve my emotions. My family thinks I'm faking it.
Is there a medical term....short hopefully, that I can show my family for this condition I have. thank you, Liisa Mailer.
