However, I don't think that being rude, insulting, or arrogant is ever permissible. Before you hit "send" on that email, ask yourself if there is a better way to state what you are feeling. For me, I have started journalling, and it lets me get all my emotions out in whatever way I see fit, and then I can sort out the facts and state the facts to my therapist. Facts can contain feelings.. ."I am angry with you because you made me feel like this" "I am feeling hurt by your comment that..." etc.
As someone who is in school to be a psychologist, please, just please, don't be rude or insulting. They don't deserve it and most won't put up with it.
