Ooh.
I just found that more people had responded to this thread :-)> That's my point.
> It feels like it goes away, but chances are good it doesn't. If you're afraid of what happens if you let it out, chances are good that there is internal pressure.Ah. I see what you mean. Chances are good that it is going to just keep on popping up. And thats what shows there to be internal pressure... Hmm... I have been having a lot more thoughts of self-hatred occuring to me over the past week. They haven't been disturbing to me really - I just reflect on one of my t's saying 'think kindly' and I sort of give myself a mental hug if that makes any sense. But the thoughts just keep coming and keep coming... Maybe thats the anger coming out???
> Those of us with a skill for dissociation just are pretty good at separating ourselves from the feelings of anger.I didn't feel anger until a couple of years back.
Well. I didn't think I did anyways...
> Which leaves them there ready to emerge at times when there may not even be a clear link.Yeah. That makes sense. Sometimes I do get an intense rage. Not very often at all. But when I do it really frightens me.
> I tell my therapist that it seems like I strip memories of emotional content. The memory goes in one file, and I can relate it calmly. The emotion goes into a big vat called anger or sadness or happiness or whatever.Yeah. That makes sense.
>And sometimes a small experience of the same emotion opens the door to the vat and way more than is appropriate spills out.
Yeah.
I get that too I think.
Get caught in emotional states...
Not often...
I prefer rational me...
:-)But yeah.
Hmm...
