Dinah said it as well, if not better than anyone.
Yes, therapy is a chance to express yourself and deal with issues that you may have not properly dealt with as a child. At the same time, you are an adult and you need to learn to deal with relationships, even when such relationships generate or provoke anger. Yes, you may need to understand why that anger keeps boiling up - i.e. there were some issues when you were younger. But if you use that as the rationale behind getting angry with your therapist, it will be difficult to maintain a relationship with her. And as Dinah said, it will no doubt affect relationships with others in your life
