Hi Daisy,
We started off on work again, she's tying my childhood anger over feeling powerless to my new job and its frustrations. I think we're kind of working backwards to where we left off last Fall when I couldn't handle it anymore.
I told her that I got mad at someone and snapped "I let my inner child's anger out." She said that's good you're not punishing her and making her turn it inwards, but how are you protecting yourself from being punished by the person you snapped at? And will I punish myself?
I need to think hard about why I punish myself and have done so from childhood by turning anger, frustration and feeling poweless inward to hurt myself emotionally or physically.
