T has never shown anger in one of our sessions, but I am certain I've frustrated her at times when she is trying to get me to think "broad picture" and I am incessantly focused on the details of the example she's using.
Honestly if she were angry at me I would hope she would say something but in a nice, constructive, let's grow through this way. After all, she is human and has emotions. I am terrible at confrontation and I avoid expressing anger. I think it would be helpful to have interaction in expressing it in an appropriate manner. There have been times I've been really upset with T, but never said anything. Instead I went home and wrote nasty journal entries for several days.
