I'm glad you were able to tell her last time, but sorry she wasn't able to hear.
Why was *she* angry? I realize of course that the calm therapist who accepts our anger with no feelings of their own is a myth. And in general, even though their anger is their responsibility, I think I prefer those therapists who express that anger. But *only* if they express it constructively, by owning it, and by holding on tight to the desire for resolving it.
It sounds as if your daughter has a really caring therapist. That's wonderful. But I can see why it would make you sad for what you had.
