I don't think I've seen any signs of anger in my T. The worst thing I think I saw was boredom, which in some ways, seems worse. It's like indifference. Anger at least would mean they care enough to be angry. I don't know how I would react. I'm sure I would cry, because I cry through all the sessions anyway. I probably would get defensive. It would defnintely be a part of transference/countertransference, though because I seem to be caught up right now in being the "good client" and needing his approval for that.
I can't think of a time I was ever really angry with a client in session. I have been frustrated with one or two who remain very closed because I get anxious to get "busy" with the work and have a harder time slowing down to the client's pace at times. But that usualy passes.
Hmmmm. I wonder what I would look like if I were angry. I do have an angry face, but I don't know what it looks like.
