I have no idea if she's right. It makes as much sense as anything else I've heard a therapist say. But if she is right, then losing it is a good sign.

I agree. Don't understand why but there is something there that is yelling truth in my mind.
I've always been so afraid of anger. It always meant that I wasn't in a place where I was safe, and I wasn't. I'm trying to learn that anger is ok with appropriate boundaries. That feels very alien to me but I want to entertain the idea.
