I don't think we should ever apologize for sharing how we feel. The expression of anger can be helpful; your T caught how afraid you are, that's what it is for. One isn't supposed to feel better just because they express themselves, it often happens that way but I don't think that's a given. Expressing how one feels just gets it out there so it can be looked at; it's information. I think it works both ways but I don't think we can predict or control how the other person feels or responds. I think it can be difficult when we're first dealing with intense emotions to try to understand ourselves much less another. I like to look at intense things later rather than working with them while they're happening.
