I suppose I tend to feel that way sometimes. I try to remember that a therapist can do what a therapist does because they have the ability to stand back and not respond personally to what happens to us.
On the other hand, I remember a time when I felt a lot of frustration from my therapist, and our relationship was sinking in it. I started giving him positive feedback around that time about the ways I was finding therapy useful. I'm not sure that it was the therapy correct thing to do, but it was pragmatic and did improve situation.
This was a very long time ago, and a relatively low point in our therapy.
