Alex, like you, I had surpressed all of my anger for 35 years. INstead of being angry, I would just cry and be sad. I have FINALLY embraced the idea that it is actually not a crime to be angry! What you are feeling is actually a really good sign that you are progressing! Embrace this anger. Your body and mind have been dying to express it.
AS for how to let it out, my T told me to cuss up a storm which I now do(when no once can hear me of course!) and it really helps. I think a good 5 minute cussing rampage really does the trick sometimes.
But your feelings of anger are normal and a really good sign.
