I don't think my T would have been angry about the situation if I had purposely endangered my life because I wanted to die, but I risked my life because I didn't feel like going to the hospital. She had a good point.
I was fourteen at the time, that might have made some difference.

I just remembered, my case manager/coordinator (which is a T I only see for evaluations and things like that) chewed me out pretty badly when I had done a suicide attempt in my room at the partial hospitalization program. I was kicked out of inpatient/residential because of the suicide attempts, but was allowed to keep my room as no one else was using it and I really need a place to myself. She said the room wasn't intended for such purposes and that I made social workers and nurses afraid of opening the door when I wasn't answering because of what they might find.
(I figured it was their job and better them than my parents) I don't agree with her, but I understand her point - that the clinic isn't intended as a place to commit suicide, but as a place to heal/recover/get help.
She finished the conversation by telling me that if I did one more suicide attempt at the clinic I didn't have to return.

I disagreed with most of what she was saying and it didn't bother me. I didn't do any attempts while in partial hospitalization, though, because I didn't want to be kicked out.

She hasn't shown it, but I suspect she's probably a mix of worried and a little miffed with me. I've called and rescheduled my appointment several times now. Call in the day before the appt, set it for a few days later, the day before the new appt, call in and reschedule for a few days letter, and repeat. I just really don't want to talk to anyone right now, and haven't for about three weeks now. She's called and left a couple messages asking me to call back. I'm sure she's a little miffed, and I just can't bring myself to care.

my T does not get mad or angry but he admits to sometimes feeling frustrated. but that is much less now than it used to be. we are more like a team now, working together. i have been a HUGE pain in the a#s in the past. but he stuck with me. i dont know how or why......but he did. and i am so grateful to have him in my life

I've had my therapist angry at me and for good reason (at least he reacted in ways that suggested he was angry). If I had someone act the way I acted with him, I'd be pretty angry, too. I still don't know how to process it. I've tried to apologize, but it really screwed up our working relationship.

My old T used to get angry a number of times for things like bringing up topics we'd discussed before; being silent in session; if old T didn't think I was doing enough to make changes etc.

My T has not yelled at me, argued with me or (in her words) ever been angry or frustrated with me. She isn't the argumentative type and has never shown annoyance with me over emails, self harm, wanting to shut her out, etc. I do believe she cares, but from a healthy boundary. She knows that my choices are my own and while she may not always agree with them, she supports me completely. She's expressed that she'd be deeply saddened if I tried to commit suicide, but that has never been the focus - she prefers getting to the root of feelings and helping me out of that hole I sometimes fall in.

I had a T once who shouted at me: DO AS YOU ARE TOLD! ( amongst other things)....I suspect a little bit of countertranference was going on there

Not really angry but maybe a bit exasperated, as I can spend an entire session just disagreeing without any true sense behind it...

But angry? No... I don't practice any self destructive behavior so I don't see how she could be truly angry with me.

wow. Do you think he/she was a good counselor? Did he/she actually help you in any way?

***** CSA trigger warning

My T actually yelled at me once: I had this homework to do, were she wanted me to look into difference jobs I could do and write out the pros and cons for each one.

Well due to my CSA when I tried doing the homework I had this voice inside me telling me that all I can ever be is a hooker, that all the abuse was training for my future career and so on... I got so distressed that I had to write this down as a career choice (even though I would never do it) or harm myself... Well I didn't manage to explain her why I wrote it down and T got really mad at me for even considering it.

We did work it out, but it was pretty upsetting to me.
