Sometimes I just want to shout in session "therapy is stupid!" Has anyone ever done that?

I had the same fear, as I have a couple things that I thought my therapist wouldn't understand. But she either did have personal experience of it, or she'd treated someone with the issue in question. Any therapist who's been in practice for a bit has seen almost everything, so why not ask?
As for your question...I haven't shouted it, but I've said it, several times in our first few sessions. She took it well.
