No, I have never felt scolded.
The only times my T has issued "commands" have been times when I wasn't very functional and needed him to tell me what to do. Like when we were wrestling with a strong ego state, T said, "don't give up control!" That's really rare for us, though. I wouldn't like a T who issued me commands on a regular basis when I didn't need that degree of directiveness.
