I've definitely apologized many times to my therapist over the course of my therapy with him--I think its a good and normal approach to confronting these real feelings despite the limits of the therapeutic relationship. I wouldn't worry at all about this as they don't take it personally and remember all the emotions you're dealing with in therapy...they are all about you and not about the therapist :) Your therapist's job is simply providing you with a person to talk to and he/she really isn't responding or causing the anger/pain/sadness you might experience during the process. I think apologizing is a great tool in therapy because its a way for you to put words onto an emotion and deal with the feelings directly in therapy.
