Mine said that to me too....but I believe it's just standard procedure. I try and remember that my T really doesn't know me 100% and it's his job to draw boundaries and make them clear. I think I responded by sort of chuckling and saying of course not - you don't have to worry about that, T.
People sometimes do become violent, I'm sure. Although it may be rare, I think it's still important for a T to remind their clients where the boundaries lie. Also, it opens up discussion of ways it is ok to express anger which many of us may struggle with.
