Agree.

I think reviewing the outbursts and figuring out what emotions, feelings, stresses were going on at the time would be beneficial. I hope with enough review you will find a common denominator. Honestly, rooting out the cause and reviewing it in a sort of third-person perspective is the only way I make sense of my anger.
I agree again. It lets you slow down your reaction over time, and you can examine more what happens, and then make some sense of it. But it isn't easy to do that. It takes practice.
