Absolutely, and I'm glad your therapist did their job, which was to provide a safe space to express yourself. We aren't always going to express ourselves beautifully, peacefully, eloquently, and I do think it's important to learn/experience in therapy that we're still okay, even if we don't.
I think we're very clear that we'd never just lash out at someone for no reason, and never believe that we're entitled to be rude (at least not after the fact, haha), but more that we can accept ourselves as imperfect, as is everyone, and learn from the situation, that a lot of guilt isn't going to help.
