If both of the "torn file" and the "locked office door" verses are about his own file room (he doesn't make that clear), then he's saying that he's full of shit. He suggested to her a coping mechanism, and then turned around and did a number on himself by completely destroying his own suggeseted defensive mechanism. Maybe he's letting her know that although he puts on a calm front, he is/was really distraught over the situation.
I go back and forth between two interpretations - one in which he's expressing a certain "It sucks, I wrecked your shop, but you're gonna be ok." OR "I know it seemed like I handled this in stride, but in reality it really screwed me up...just in case you didn't know." Both are equally sad. Choose your poision.
