My therapist got irritated at me many a time. I can understand it because I am the Queen on Passive-Aggressive in my sessions, lol. Not sure why, but anyway. I figure therapists are human beings too so they are going to get a bit shirty every now and again, especially when they are dealing with transferrence like mine, which is very negative.

I treated her like any other human being really. She is a therapist, not a superhuman, godlike person, in my opinion. Except I had limited sessions and the few that I could afford (after the free ones ran out) were very expensive. So when she got shirty or went silent (and its extremely obvious when they are irritated ofcourse), I told her off. I figure, I am not paying $200 bucks an hour for someone to sit there in silence (or get offended and lay off the treatment), and I basically just told her that exact thing. Sometimes, if she was really irritated and it was really obvious, I ended the session.

So there are many ways to deal with it really. She is a human being, she is not emotionally invincible like they would like us to believe. So we have to deal with these things like we would do with any other person. But we have to keep in mind the money thing, because it ain't cheap! The textbook response would be "talk it over with your therapist" but I have seen from experience that it doesn't really help much, and it does egg on your anger a lot when they deny that they are irritated.

Technically (from what I've read) you are supposed to work on it with your therapist, because these are issues from your childhood flowing through. So if that is doable, that would be good, you might as well give it a crack.
