Well, I'm intrigued and trying to figure out what you were on... ?? Lol.

I think it's poor form for a therapist to ever get mad at a client. Like you said, we pay them for their time and substance abuse is a common problem. On the other hand therapists are human, obviously you touched a nerve somehow. I would really recommend you discuss it next session. Maybe you didn't judge your Ts reaction perfectly and they weren't that mad. Maybe it was paranoia?

Also I would say if your T has asked before that you not come in like that and you keep doing it that might be the cause of frustration. Then it's like you're not respecting their wishes, and honestly a therapist can't work with someone on being sober when they're not sober. So for what it's worth you can't keep coming in under the influence and think its therapy and that your T can miraculously heal you while your **** faced. It doesn't sound like you think that, but just sayin .
