Way to go on realizing that it would be better to punch a pillow instead of a wall! That's terrific. Thank goodness your t could get you right in and worked with you. I do want to say one thing regarding something you said, though. You said, "my girlfriend got me so angry...", if there is a next time that you get this angry, it may help diffuse or redirect it a bit if you remember that you may have been angry at her, at things she said or did, but she didn't
get you angry, you got angry yourself. Sometimes rethinking our anger helps refocus and may diffuse it a little. Keep up the good work, and make sure it's a very fluffy pillow!
