Yes - I would tell the therapist to keep it to herself. I don't care if the woman likes it or not.
The woman told me once that she did not like it when I did X but was taken aback when I said it did not matter to me if she liked it or not. What finally stopped her telling me was me was after saying something upset or frustrated her - I said "good - perhaps now you know how I feel when trying to get you to understand"
She has not taken that tactic with me since.
