The thing we talked about before was that since emotions were not allowed in my house, especially anger, I never learned how to express it. I have to learn how to do that and learn all the other emotions too.

I can really relate to that. I am also learning to express my anger in therapy. I haven't done it much so far, but I basically cried and pounded my fists a bit on the couch and clenched my teeth. And then I felt awful for venting and had to spend the next session about why I felt so awful, when T didn't even think I vented that much.

So I still have some work left to do!

Good luck to you, I hope it's a healing experience for you!
