Well yes and that doesn't exclude the possibility of a therapist acting out at the client and pissing them off for reasons of their own. Sometimes people show "tough love" and tell hard "truths" not out of a genuine wish to be helpful but because they have some sort of feelings toward the person that are vented by seeing the person upset. Not always, of course, but it's not unusual.
