Does anyone know how you actually go about "following" anger? I asked my T for more guidance than that, but I *may* have been a little angry at him and not able to really understand what the heck he was talking about when he tried to explain. Or maybe he didn't try that hard, or just makes no sense. Any help or clues would be appreciated.
I've never heard this phrase used before. Does he possibly mean that maybe you aren't necessarily angry at your FIL or about his death, but it's triggering something from the past? "Following" the anger back to your past? That's the best I can do.

I'm typing this and I don't even think it makes sense!
