So, context, content and delivery are what matter for me.
I understand that it is different for different people. But if a therapist yelled either of those at me - I would be all wtf? Either one is not useful to me. I can possibly understand the second one better than the first. For me, a main thrust is always it is my life - it is not the therapist's life - what a therapist wants or doesn't want is of no relevance or use to me.
