Hi Fuzzybear. It's hard for me to say if certain expressions of anger from therapists or psychiatrists are right or wrong. I guess it really depends, but certainly if receiving anger triggers you, that's a big deal! Perhaps it could be helpful for you to take note of the negative triggers you've received from past therapists and share that information with any new therapist in the future. It might be a good early subject of discussion.

Maybe somebody may not understand why I wrote "it really depends"? The truth is, for some people anger responses could be a catalyst for some helpful reaction. Some of us are more tolerant of such responses than others. Some of us need that flavor of "jolt", in a sense, while it hurts others. I've been at the receiving end of angry responses from a couple tdocs and pdoc. I have a bit of a temper, myself. Everyone in my family does. Eek!
