I suppose it could be said everyone has a right to be angry.
Ts are part of "everyone."
But if the T is doing their job right, they won't get angry at hte client. Anger at the client is a sign that the T can't keep their stuff separate from the session. We pay them to make the session about us, not them.

This isn't necessarily fatal, but hte T should recognize it, and remediate it.
Thanks for this!
