In your first post at top of the thread, you said her words "hurt" you. You have got to talk about that with her, or you might as well not bother with therapy. I do know about and have been in the place where you are right now. Therapists are human and they can get offended and they can become defensive and all this can be hurtful to you. Fortunately, this is just the sort of thing that gives you an opportunity to zone in on what you need to be dealing with.
I was a lot like you in therapy. You are right to understand that you do have to watch how you express yourself. You must apologize for sarcasm and then talk about what led to it.
Be attentive and cautious. But do not evade the difficult issues. Do not let your therapist evade the tough issues. That's my advice. You sound like a very responsible person. You are in therapy because you need help with some things that are not pleasant to deal with. If your interaction with your T stays tension-free all the time, then I doubt anything is being accomplished. You have a lot of wisdom. You want to be respectful of your T, which is mature of you. You wanted to talk to her about how her words hurt you. There is nothing more appropriate for you to talk about. It can be done in a civil manner.
