No matter how needy you are, what your diagnosis is or why the emotions got triggered in you it is the therapists job to maintain their boundaries so they don’t do stupid **** like going off screaming at a client. Personally I would politely ask my T in the next session to talk about it and what happened and how do we go from here.
I had a T go off on me once and it really, really sucks! I triggered some stuff from her dad with my frequent calls and emotional lows. She screamed at me the whole session while I cowered in the chair. When the story came up with my current T he was totally appalled! He asked a lot of really good questions and laid out where his boundaries were, how he would react or more accurately not react to the situation and asked me what I had needed from her or what I would need from him if the same thing happened.
I hope you choose to engage your T on this and I hope they are a good enough T to own up to their part in it.
