Ya know... One thing my T has really helped me with is to give me a safe place in which I can really experience my anger. She lets me just feel anger, and express that anger. She then acknowledges it, and doesn't judge, just lets me sit with it, and asks me questions about it. It really helps.

You have a lot to be angry about. Do you ever just allow yourself to feel it? Experience it? Not fight it? Throw things, cry, pound on pillows, say all the things out loud you want to say to the people who hurt you? (I mean say them out loud, but not actually TO the people, just with a T or trusted friend or by yourself).

I just find that so helpful, because I am always so mellow, easy going, and patient, but deep inside I have SO MUCH anger.
