No offense but honestly, as you describe it here, this sounds like an unhealthy dynamic and not one to model as an example of desired ideal.
I would hope that if someone often feels like they need to suppress their own feelings and/or "stand up" to their therapist or their partner, that the productive value either relationship would be examined. Again, sorry if I offended.
