A note of caution about anger in current interactions. Those of us with
repressed anger from childhood invariably have intense anger in current
interactions that is out of proportion to the incident. The self help
measures are not a license to rage at others who abuse us in the
present, but a means to release some of the repressed anger by banging
on a bed or mentally redirecting anger toward past abusers BEFORE
confronting someone in a current interaction. I hope if this is not
clear to anyone that you will carefully re-read the article so as to
understand this.
