Oh daisy, I'm so sorry. It was his unexpected reaction to what you said that made you feel ashamed, not anything you did. He cares so deeply about you that he just reacted. He didn't have time to process what you said and respond as if you'd said it at the start of the session. I'm sure he's kicking himself. Please don't feel ashamed. Feelings are what they are, you were stressed out, you felt the way you felt, you felt shameful in expressing that to your T. That doesn't make you bad.
When is your next session? I hope you don't feel that when you're overwhelmed you have to lean on your T, that's what he's there for, and if you need an extra session to get you through this he'll understand.
(((hugs)))
