I wondered if any of you have experienced rage in your therapy, against your therapist and how you both dealt with it, particularly if anger is something you don't normally display in real life.

The past 4 months have been very challenging with my therapist but recently, say the last 6-8 weeks I just feel such fury towards her. Generally she is meeting all my needs as a therapist, she isn't doing anything ethically wrong, she's a good therapist. But the rage coming from me is ridiculous. In the last two weeks I've been able to voice my anger and my disappointment at some of the things she's done whilst in session but often the anger comes out in angry tirades in texts ( feels safer that way).
I wish I could understand why she makes me so angry all the time lately. I feel totally terrified of how angry I feel about everything. I am not an angry person and generally if I do get angry I calm down quick. This anger is very much out of character. I feel totally out of control all the time, this isn't me. Except it obviously is me. I've been a grade A. b"tch lately.

I feel like my therapy is a battleground just now and I just miss feeling like my T is on my side. I feel suspicious of her and resentful of her and like she's a stranger to me now. I'm scared for where this is heading ; will she terminate me? Get sick of me directing all this at her?

Please tell me therapists can endure this? How did you get passed your anger, how did it affect your relationship with your T? Any advice?
