The therapist has this right too ... She minds, so she doesn't practice the type if therapy that deals with clients who exhibit violence in session. She's allowed to do that without the implication that she is too weak to be an effective therapist.
The OP admitted he was using the display to intimidate her into giving the answers he wanted. If he had said to her "I know where you live" or some other threatening remark, would you be saying that it's "just words" and every therapist should be able to handle words? The hitting of the table isn't the issue - it is the motive behind it.
