Hi Phoenix,

I understand your frustration and your irritation. The therapist / client relationship is a strange one...I often feel like my therapist is my "friend", but in reality, he is not: he is a professional with whom I have entered into a contract. That said, he is a caring person who I genuinely believe has my best interests at heart, but he is first and foremost a professional who is running a business.
That said, perhaps your therapist could have handled it in a way that didn't sound so harsh, but...
JMHO....Google "therapist patient relationship". I found a lot of helpful advice on understanding the dynamic that goes on in the therapist's office.
Sending you kind thoughts and hugs.
