Pegasus,

Sounds like you are doing good work in therapy and have a good T.
I found it interesting that you chose a "trigger" icon when just bringing up the subject of expressing anger. (If I could start a post about this subject-- I would have done the same)

I am VERY fearful of anger........ my own, people around me -- I even have a hard time watching people get angry on TV !!!(if it's a live-real situation and not acting) Guess that's partly why I can't begin to watch any of those "reality" shows.

I find it nearly impossible to express any discontent. If I do reach out and state how I'm feeling-- my hands start shaking, throat gets dry and I dissociate.

Just last week my T. said some things that I should have spoke up about..... but I'm so fearful that he will get angry at my anger-- so I suppress it. That's why I think it is absolutely wonderful that you are able to express it with your T.!!!! I hope you are feeling good about your progress-- it sounds great to me!
