She said once that when she supervises student therapists, they get really nervous when their clients get angry with them, and she tries to tell them in supervision that it's great that their client trusts them enough to express their anger. I still kinda don't think it would be fun, though. Important, maybe, but not fun.
T previously told me when we first started that he felt with him and even with my best friends I didn't express negative emotions when I had every right too. It is a safety thing.
