Are you leaving for your trip?
Sounds like you had a session like I did. :) We were calmly discussing my... dysfunctional coping responses.
Would you believe that he said that although it wasn't clinically wise at the time to tell me so, he was glad when I called him a b*stard to his face? He says it was a healthy expression of my anger.
Go figure what will please these therapists. :)
The hard part comes when they offer healthy alternatives that aren't quite as effective as the unhealthy ones. My therapist is still trying to convince me to give up short term relief in order to practice long term improvements in my coping skills.
