Hmmm... I'll try to do that. I've got the house to myself for a while, and I'll try to focus on the feelings and follow them back. It's so hard to do at the moment I'm regressing, but doubtless another opportunity will come up soon, and I'll try again then.
It's so hard to say. Both my parents have anger problems, and I think maybe my grandpa (who I lived with when I was little) did too. So I'm sure I have lots of memories of anger and my reactions to it. Maybe too many to clearly sort out. But I'll give it a shot.
Maybe I'll be able to figure out what I'm trying to *do* at those moments.
Here's a bit of a ramble. But you know how sometimes it's hard to draw a line? This is ok and normal, and this isn't? My therapist tells me things I experienced when I was little weren't normal. Weren't just the run of the mill parent stuff. But he's sort of my advocate, you know? So what he tells me, I sort of wonder about.
Definitely rambling. I've got a mixture of decongestant, cough medicine, and Excedrin running through my veins. It may actually be a good time to try to follow those feelings back. :)
