How do you deal with the distance created when you disagree or get angry at your T and feel alone?

Confronting someone is really against my nature so at my last therapy apt I was really proud of myself when I brought it to my T's attention that something she had said had made me angry. She said several times how happy she was that I told her and I think it is the start of some very good discussions (will have to wait and see).

"So how are you dealing with the space between you and I today?"

I know this quote isn't talking about the literal space between yourselves and your T's, but it reminded me of something else I've been experiencing in therapy. After a session when I'm replaying it over and over I realized that when I think of different things that my T says I picture her at different distances from me even though she never moves from the chair across the room. I guess it is my subconscious really playing out how I'm reacting to what she is saying and how I feel about it. It was an interesting realization that I had into my reaction to therapy and I wondered if anyone else experiences this?
