Were dealing with some really strong anger in a shakkingly controlled way!

I know, dealing with anger in a shaky way means to us that we are trying to control ourselves yet trying to be grounded to which doesn't look too good according to a friend,

My anger could move mountains and yet my TDoc doesn't care to deal with that part of our life after 7 years! GGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrr see?

Any ideas?

Thanks, Crew

I posted a similar thread in the self help forum. I do meditation several times a week and that helps a lot. Not sure if that's up your alley but worth mentioning.

Hello Crew,

I was like that until I dealt with the thing that made me the angriest. All my anger stemmed from 3 things.

1: Sexual abuse

2: Doctor saying in front of me "Don't ever talk about it she will forget it"

3: My parents not ever talking about it and that made me feel like I was the bad one

When I finally went through therapy for further rapes and sexual assault it came out that was why I was so angry.

I really hope you can find your cause because it will bring you peace

in some ways, retained anger is like food poisoning, you got to get it out or it will kill you. there's no point in pretending like it isn't there,, few things are more important than learning how to let go of it, and let it move out of the system. i too , have been using meditation everyday, usually twice a day, for the past 5 yrs, and i have seen a tremendous differerence in the way i respond to anger triggers,, i also have been learning biofeedback, to get control of they physical responses, which oddly, affect the thought/emotion loop. i am posting a lot of information on meditation in a new member group, Spiritual Development, if any one is interested ,,, Gus

I think the "left over" anger gets dealt with as we deal with the issues that caused it in the first place. I went from wanting to smash my fist down my stepmother's throat to being able to see the "whole" and the good/normal in her and my relationship. When she died I was singing "Ding, dong, the witch is dead!" but I miss her now too.
