Two comments:
Isn't it possible to express the feelings of rage without being rageful? Are you able to express the depth of your emotions without pushing her over the line? At the very least you should try, let her know that you will try but there might be a chance that you are not always perfect. But at least let her know what you are attempting,
I understand her issue of disrespect. On one hand you got frustrated that she did not fully understand you and how bad you were feeling. In essence, you want her to 'respect' your feelings and issues. For therapy to work, in many ways it does need to be a two way relationship. If you don't give her basic level of respect, I can understand that it might be hard for her to treat you. It is hard for any relationship, even a therapeutic one where the therapist is primarily there to help you, to be one sided when it comes to something as basic as respect.
