I believe that anger is just another symptom of internal problems that need to be worked through. It is more outward directed than, say, depression, but a severely depressed person can do a whole lot of damage to those around them. I don't think anger should be judged more harshly than other acting-out behavior. It's a problem that needs to be fixed. And if a therapist cannot work with a person on this, who can they turn to???????[/quote
I donīt believe anger is the only issue here. " Kicking someone who's already laying down" in this case a T willing to admit a mistake, is not "only" about not being able to control your anger (IMO)

I didn't mean to imply that. The OP has problems that need to be worked on, just like probably all of us on this forum. He deserves to have a therapist who can help him, the same as we all do.
