(((Riptide)))) forgive my delay in replying, even though it's only been one day... I've been ill all of April, fighting a fever and such.

I agree that the therapist needs to have their personal emotions in check, and controlled responses when showing therapeutic caring.

It isn't good that she is "angry" with or at you for any reason. Your responses, your actions are all about you, and she needs patience in leading you to where you need to be. Her becoming angry with you isn't good at all...I mean, it's something she shouldn't be, and certainly something she shouldn't be showing and certainly not be telling you!

IDK how difficult it is to change therapists, but I would advise you to consider it. If you can't, then I suggest you "call" her on this... and it doesn't need to be using up one of YOUR sessions! If you can't confront her in person, then put it into writing. If she has shared with why she is angry and you feel she thinks she is totally in the right, then reconsider if she has a point. If not, and if you still think she is unstable, or at least too unstable to help you, then find another.

Trust is a main support in therapy. It sounds like she not only hasn't gained your trust, but has done something to erode it completely.
