I only started therapy around Christmas. He has not yet gotten angry with me.

The closest he got wasn't even something he said that I could point to: I mentioned how when I got angry with my boyfriend I sometimes called him "dumb" or "stupid" and how I knew I really shouldn't do that. He didn't even say anything, but his posture, sudden narrowing of his eyes, let me know that he was less than thrilled about this confession and didn't approve.

I wouldn't call it a "belief". I'm unsure how to think about it. I was hoping some more people would give specific examples of WHEN their Ts got mad at them (like the abuse example. Makes perfect sense.) Because I don't think a T should do anything that won't directly benefit the client. But I have a hard time thinking of any examples of when that WOULD be beneficial.
