A good massage therapist encourages feedback. I can tell, by palpating, how much pressure is appropriate for a client, i.e., how much works to release tight soft tissue. However, I can't always tell what a client's subjective experience is. Some people prefer a very firm touch, others a moderate or light touch. Every massage should be relaxing and a pleasure as well as therapeutic. If you find a massage therapist who resents or doesn't honor your feedback, I suggest terminating the massage and refusing payment just as you would send back an over cooked steak to the kitchen. You, as the client, should have your prferences honored and your feedback valued.
