anger at breaking a rule (that should be set at the beginning, not made up at random) or at breaking a promise or harming self or others is okay with me.

But anger (usually shown in a passive aggressive way) about how I do things, or at asking a question about therapeutic relationship and so forth, or about me disagreeing about something is not. That anger should be vented outside the office, away from the client.

Just my opinion.

too often I have had them vent at me and take out their issues on me and that's how I got abused in therapy.

So, I really appreciate this question and the person who asked it.

Anger is human.

But at work, it should be controlled.
