I've had a lot of anger issues myself, so I can definitely relate to what you describe.

Also this part of your earlier post, I forgot to ask about it, the thing is I do not see how you let go of the anger just because it's managed to come to the surface.
As I already indicated, this is my main issue with the idea of improving emotional awareness, if I manage to experience an emotion that I did not focus on before, I don't learn anything from it. It does not have a meaning or direction or a visible reason for it, it's just an emotion in the moment, nothing more nothing less.
My default usually unemotional mode includes me becoming subtly aware of some emotional states when I find it's necessary and these are immediate reactions to situations so I always know the reason causing them so I know how to address them.
But this anger thingie that came up, I cannot see a reason because it is not a direct immediate reaction to some situation. So what do I do with it then?
