I've been angry at my T before and it's usually when I'm trying to push him away and he doesn't fight with me. I know it's crazy to get mad at him for that, because that's what he's supposed to do, but it will still piss me off. I haven't told him how angry that makes me, because I feel like that will mean he "wins". So stupid, right? It also makes me mad when he says nice things to me like "I'm worried about you." or "You've been through so much and you're a lot stronger than you believe." I think it makes me mad because it makes me feel like he really likes me and I'm just not at that point where I can believe that so I think he's lying. We've kind of touched on that and he handles it really well and is professional and sweet, which makes me more angry!

Ts are trained to handle this kind of stuff. I think a good T wouldn't take it personally and terminate you, but would instead be happy that you're being honest about your feelings. It's a really tough thing to do, but if we can't express our anger in therapy then where can we?
Thanks for this!
