Even if one encourages anger to be expressed, thats not the same as there not being any anger there to begin with. T's DO NOT put the feelings in us. Anger is a protecter of fear for me. Does T encourage it? No she sits like she always sits but does at times mention that perhaps there are other feelings apart from "oh I'll be ok" going on within me and led me to finally admit, that I do feel anger. As to whether its "normal" or not depends on whats normal..I am very aware of my range of emotions and very open to working on them...
