Yes!
Geez: I'm angry at you for being consistently late.
T: I don't do anger in this room. Anger doesn't help.
Geez: It's not good to be stuck in anger however therapy would be the place to express it and explore it to then be able to get through it. Especially for someone like myself who had denied that emotion for most of their life.
T: Interesting thought. (with arms crossed looking away)
Geez: What are you holding back from saying??????
T: Silence.
