Were you ok with how he reacted?
I think it was probably true when he said he was proud of you, not angry or offended. My therapist was inordinately proud of him that time I cursed at him. It reminded me of my father, who used to find my anger hilarious, when that really wasn't what I was going for.
He's a very sensitive therapist, Sunny. I think he'd be a consistent and caring presence no matter what you told him.
Did the memory you were having have any relation to your anger at him for being sick and unavailable? I often am surprised at how my thoughts in therapy are related.
Maybe it's something going around. I spent most of my session today absolutely furious with my therapist. And only his open acceptance of my anger helped me end up smiling. Although not entirely over my anger.
