Feileacan - it sounds like you have a solid therapist.
Mine had almost zero tolerance for anger and outbursts. She said it was disrespectful, crossing boundaries and inappropriate for the type of therapy we were doing.
I often wonder how my therapy would have progressed if she had accepted and tolerated my angry and crazy pieces too. Surely I would not have had a strong filter, kept in so much emotion and felt so exquisitely shamed throughout much of my therapy work. For me it felt like doing therapy on a thin sheet of ice, when I needed a rock... panicking at every small cracking sound.
