Art - focus on you and not your therapist. If she can't take a client's anger, she has no business practicing and she definitely shouldn't be telling you about it.

I mean, didn't rr's therapist handle her punching a door? And give her an ice pack? That's what a therapist should be like when confronted with strong emotion imo. They go to school to be taught how to deal with emotions and then they can't and then they make clients feel guilty? Uh uh. Scam.

I've been told I'm over-empathic. I certainly have weak spots for certain people like future ex. Learning not to be over-empathic towards him was majorly liberating. I recommend it.
