Haven't even scratched the surface on that one! Bringing it up with the counselor is painful and embarrassing and causes me to dwell on it until the next session. I just can't accept that so much pain has to be part of the process. In a nutshell it is unresolved conflict with parents and low self esteem. To top it off, I had strong feelings of anger and even hatred towards my (now ex) partner. Bleh.
We project our anger onto the people we love, especially when the people who love hurt us. Anger is meant to drive us to gather strength that we don't know we have so that we can survive. And sometimes we ask ourselves the wrong questions...such as, why am I so angry? Perhaps the right question to ask is, why do I feel I need that strength and drive that anger brings to me?
