I think it might depend on the type of therapy and the reason we're in therapy. I have difficulty with anger, both my own and others'. It's been a focus of therapy to help me tolerate that. If he had yelled that he was angry, it wouldn't have helped any. But for him to say it calmly, and with reassurances, was helpful in the context of *my* therapy. What wouldn't have been helpful was if he was angry and didn't admit it.
