Hi Elli,

I have been redirecting my anger for 3 weeks now.
Yesterday, as I sat in my office at work, I was feeling my loss...and all of
a sudden, it was like the floodgates of my tears opened up and
I wept like a baby...it felt good to release and cry..I felt a little better
also..

Just a few moments ago, while I'm reading..(which triggered an early
childhood feeling and event) I began to weep uncontrollably
(this crying was NOT intentional)

Ellie...is this my brains way of 'cleaning house' of all the toxins that
have accumilated since my childhood...?
Is crying just as good for releasing this toxins?

I've notice this is happening since I've been redirecting....All these
feelings and emotions are coming up..
As roto rooter is to plumbing...it seems to me that the redirecting AND
crying is flushing emotional toxins out of me.

I feel a little better after those two cries....while I cried earlier today,
I managed to think of my mother.,..and how she wasn't there for me when I
was sad at a very early age...I remember feeling like I was thirsty for
emotional comfort, only to find a very dry well...almost dessert like. S.

Good work...this sounds like you have flushed out many of the toxins. There
are toxic amounts of neurochemicals that store both anger and grief.
Usually feelings of grief follow the release of repressed anger.
