Sometimes in therapy I would be so angry I would stop speaking, leave that session, arrive at the next, sit in a terrible vengeful silence, leave, arrive at my next session, do the same and so on. The silence would sometimes be broken by my therapist's interpretations, sometimes not.
What's more all this would happen over nothing. (mild thwart>>great rage).
I wonder if all this emphasis on control and will is in fact good for us.
Now I feel we need to develop the unwillable virtues....letting go, forgiveness, things like that....the opposite of empowerment.....unless I'm just erecting a straw man to take my anger out on.
