For those of you whose T's were angry, did you find that therapeutic?
Conversely, did anyone feel upset/disappointed that their T DIDN'T show stronger emotion?

I don't feel slighted or angry if a T doesn't show stronger emotions. Frankly - and unfortunately - I think many of them see this ALL TOO OFTEN.
I think that because I have processed this SO MUCH in therapy, I don't present as being in crisis when I talk about the issue, and they don't tend to respond in very emotional terms.
A good Therapist will mirror their patient and while it's certainly not easy or fun to discuss, I don't have a lot of really new, raw emotion around the topic.
And now that I think about it, I guess that my years and years and years (decades!) of therapy have paid off!
