Wander, that is so great your T and Pdoc understand and are not making you feel guilty for your feelings. I question if I am feeling anger for a similar reason, even though some of it may be misdirected (and I don't think I have serious PTSD or anything near what you've experienced, but I do sense I am guarding myself from mistreatment I've experienced before). I am trying to find healthy ways to deal with it that are not taking it out on the wrong people, but not suppressing it either. If you find any constructive ways please feel free to pass them along!

I am finding listening to music and poetry are helpful a bit. I am glad that my T does not act like my emotions are too much. In general she doesn't fault me for having feelings, whereas I did feel like my Pdoc was a little quicker to want to pathologize the my emotions.
