If you have to worry about offending the therapist, then it's not a truly safe place and you can't really be as open as you need to be (I'm saying "you" as a general person, not the OP specifically).

that's what i used to think, til last week when i found out how my explosion the week before affected her, and now i don't know what to think. i feel like now i have to protect my t from my anger. and i've never felt that way before. i suppose this bears discussion with her.
