> I supposed I feel like what should happen is that I get to express my anger, rage, scream, and she should hear and validate me and try to repair the relationship.
I have no real wisdom to add. I do vaguely remember talking to my therapist about this topic a long time ago. I'm not sure of context. But I think I remember him saying that that wasn't his job. That if he didn't think therapy was progressing beyond that, he probably wouldn't accept it indefinitely. He certainly encourages me to express anger at him. He's even proud of me when I do it. But I think that's because he thinks it's a therapeutic step forward for me.
I don't think anyone here could assess that.
I don't think it sounds as if she's professionally assessing the topic if she's bursting into tears. Perhaps a consultation is in order? You can't be expected to assess it yourself. And if you aren't ready to leave her over it, it occurs to me that an outside impartial consult might be the answer.
