I hope you ask about his behavior.
If a therapist wanted you to express anger and speak up if there was a problem, I hope he would help you with it therapeutically like through drama therapy, guided imagery, etc. and not act like a pissed off teenager leaving you to guess what the h is going on. I strongly dislike Ts that make me guess.
The only good thing that may come out of this, hopefully, is a conversation about your feelings about his behavior. I feel your T demonstrated poor form if he acted this way to elicit a response from you.
There should be ‘work’ done in therapy. But the work and it’s intent should be clear to all parties. Your therapy hour is also supposed to be a safe place to communicate with each other. Well-intentioned or not, I feel your T screwed this up.
It’s difficult to judge over this one vignette. Maybe he had a bad day, maybe he chose the wrong modality ....but I would find it difficult to stay with such an erratic T.
I want the therapy room to be, first and foremost, a sacred safe place.
