This seems a little one-sided and lacking in a long-term perspective. T's need to protect their business interests and they should be "allowed" to do things that protect what they have built. Their interests count too. And in the long term, things that allow a T to stay in business and not be burnt out or sued out of existence are ultimately in all his clients' best interests.
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is adverse to your interests. If being upset about something that happens in the course of therapy were the test for something adverse to client interests, then T's would be acting constantly against clients' interests. Rather, I think therapy teaches us to deal and accept the things that we find distressing and uncomfortable. Hopefully that is just one of those for you.
