Sometimes therapy stirs up really intense old emotions that we don't even know we had, especially if you have a life time of learning to supress your feelings behind you. But being angry isn't necessarily a bad thing - as long as you can learn to express it appropriately.

Can you talk to your T about using the last 10 minutes or so of your time to practice containment exercises, so that you're not so overwhelmed by your emotions between sessions. I sometimes do that with my T and find it really helpful.

Good luck.
