When I started recovery from abuse, I did get too angry when I communicated. I am working on that anger. I too was not allowed to get angry and I did not learn healthy communication. Now, when I try to talk to someone, I am often concerned about being too angry. Your therapist did give you good advice and you did follow it. I am glad you did that. But don't beat yourself up for not being perfect at it yet. You will get better at it.
