I'm afraid of physically expressed anger. There's a lot of history with that, but it's not something I have talked about with many people.

One thing I do is throw my dogs a ball. They only have soft stuffed toys. And my 2 yr old dogs LOVES yellow balls, so we bought her a ton. So if I need to physically express anger, that's the only thing I feel safe doing. I can throw it as hard and as fast as I want to. We have a hall that we throw the toys down and the dogs love fetching it.
