Aggression in coaching sessions

I just had a very tough experience with one of my clients that is in my course and I wonder if you’ve had something like this happen before. She scheduled a one on one with me and I thought it was going to be a normal coaching call but different. She wanted to talk to me to tell me about something. She had some issues around in our last call. It was on embodiment and somatic healing and at some point I was talking about divine feminine and how we as women are the only ones that can Birth and whether we’re birthing babies or ideas into the world, we’re still using the same womb space and creative energy that is unique to us. So in our call today, she was aggressively explaining to me that she had a different world view and that she was not birthing anything but channeling. I suggested that maybe we were talking about the same things but using different words and she got really upset and it was very uncomfortable for me, but at the end, she thanked me for allowing her to work through things and talk about this with her and not kick her out of the course. It was such a strange experience for me. I’m not saying that I know better what she is experiencing than she does but it seemed very clear to me that she has strong issues around mothering and Birth, and was very triggered, but she doesn’t feel like she has anything to work through because she said she’s already done that but she clearly asserted that she has kind of an us versus them mentality around people that have children versus those who don’t and that those of us who have children just can’t understand. Do you have any helpful advice? Have you ever dealt with anything similar maybe a different topic but someone in a coaching session that was aggressive and angry?
