I didn't like that so much.

That was really inappropriate as well. I do
not think he was right; I assume that it was some kind of technique he used, but I don't think it's appropriate to try and make a client feel ashamed about their emotions in order to stop them from feeling that way. Work together to understand why the slap still hurts, and get you away from the hurt, yes. But assigning blame and shaming you? Not so much.
