Jewgal, are you saying when you express anger AT or ABOUT your therapist, she shuts down? Or when you express anger about other people/events? My previous t used to get veeeerrrrryyyy defensive whenever I expressed anger about something she had done/not done. Kind of like it was taboo to be angry at her, but when it came to anger about other people or events she was very good at handling that and being responsive to that.
