<font color="green">Becca,
That is exactly the way that I feel. In my case, I know why I feel this way. My mother would beat me any time I showed any anger in front of her. This was particularly effective as she would start these sessions screaming at me and then move on to demanding I show only sorrow for offending her. Anything else earned me a blow - usually across the face and usually knocking me to the floor.

I am working hard in therapy to overcome this cos once you stop feeling one emotion the others become lessened until they are all shut down.

Talk to your therapist about this - as you can accept being angry you will find that your whole life is richer. </font>
