A few weeks back I started a thread about “anger” and how I was struggling with having the right tools to process through it. My therapist and I are spending time untangling the root….what causes me to feel angry? Is there a way to acknowledge the benefit of anger without having it turn into a rage? Why do I automatically feel sad, embarrassed and afraid to discuss this topic with my family? There has been some improvement in this space….now i find that my anger does not last at long and I am able to ask….”what do you need?” Instead of “Look what you did”. To myself whenever I have let anger become more of a rage. I am adding breathing techniques and grounding techniques that allow my to stay in the present and calm my nervous system.

That makes sense! I have found simply acknowledging it as a temporary feeling that will pass is helpful, so I don't act on it and yet acknowledge the reasons as to why I'm feeling those feelings. Over time if it's something that never got resolved or I continue to feel violated, it eventually takes the form of feeling as if I just don't want to engage with them, but I no longer feel the immediate feelings of anger.
