That is a really good question. I wish that I had some answers to that - looking forward to what everyone can come up with. When I was about ten years old, I remember observing that I had so much anger built up and there was no place for it to go. I asked my mother how to deal with it, and she didn't have any answers, so I just internalized it. Yeah, I deny it, sometimes for years at a time, and when it surfaces it ain't pretty. It doesn't stay out of control though.

You know, I think that what you are doing is probably the best. Acknowleging that the anger is there, and why it is there and the form that it takes, and talking about it. Beyond that, there is always punching pillows, exercise, writing, art, and other similar ways to express yourself and to work out that energy.

Stay safe, and please let me know what you find out.
