I see your point, just not sure what is appropriate in the T relationship, since it is like no other.

I tend to agree with you. That is what therapy should be like. It isn't always, for various reasons, but it should - and it certainly can be. I only have positive experiences of doing that. Sometimes painful, always very difficult, but in the end quite positive.
In any other relationship I think it is much the best and healthiest option to not be open about any feelings, positive or negative, towards the other party. (That is what is best for me, to be clear. I have no opinions about what is best for other people in their relationships.)
