I just wanted to share that recently I've been much more aware of the anger I feel at times, and that I've been practicing with my T to express it. I also practice when I'm alone in my house, and it feels so good!

Instead of feeling overwhelmed and crying, and losing energy, I now feel much more powerful.

I'm not yet thinking about whether it's 'justified', what's behind it, ladada - that's another step, for now it's great to be able to feel my own anger and throw it out into the world (or my empty room, and my T).

Anger often has hurt underlying it , so recognizing it is a good thing. Anger is probably a mixture of feelings. I think it's sometimes seen as a negative feeling , when it's a valid feeling , we may be angry about an injustice for instance.

That sounds great that you are able to express it with your T - is that anger at him or her that you are expressing? I have expressed anger at my T once. I think I was only able to express it to her because I felt that it was ‘justified’. It sounds good that you don’t need to feel that it’s justified.
