My memory is so bad. My therapist did get really really mad at me once about talking outside therapy about therapy. I came in all upset about being too dependent on him, and that it was dangerous. And part of it did come from conversations with other people, and maybe I did tell them a bit more than I was willing to tell him about just how dependent I was (that whole plan thing). He got pretty mad at thinking that I was letting someone interfere with our relationship and make me feel like I needed to back off and become less dependent. When I got upset that he was mad, and promised never to talk about it again, he calmed down, and told me never to feel like I couldn't talk about our therapy. Just not to let other people convince me that what I was feeling was unhealthy without talking to him about it. He thought that was therapy interfering behavior on my part.
He also gets upset at the reading I do, but only when it makes me feel ashamed about something.
