i say let her have it.

its really meaningful to me and a good sign when a client can get angry with me and tell me about it. you have valid questions. your feelings are valid. and if therapy is to actually help you, its important that you share those things with her. otherwise, it will become a wall that is up between the two of you and things will stall....
Thanks for this!
