I see nothing wrong with our therapist being angry, frustrated or upset with us. I do believe that they are human in engaging in us, hopefully, in a real and genuine manner. Do I think it's okay for any therapist to EXPRESS their emotions in an over the top way (yelling, shouting, swearing, physically aggressive actions)? Absolutely not! I want my therapist to tell me when I'm acting in a way that is eliciting strong emotions in her in a way that is controlled, modeling for me how I can express those feelings in my own life. And even if I don't see myself as being provoking or unreasonable, I want her to be real with me. It helps me to see how I should be responding in my own life to others. It teaches me to be real and genuine in my responses to others.
