I used a hammer and nails and just pounded the sh*t out of stuff. I also felt foolish and I kept saying, "this isn't very lady-like and not very nice." My therapist pushes me by saying, "what happened to you was not very nice. And you don't have to be a lady all the time1" (I usually retort that HE didn't have MY mother!)
Even more scary now, I'm talking about violent revenge fantasies - and they are truly gruesome. But usually after I have a session where I talk about it, I sleep through the night. And I never sleep.
I'm glad you are feeling better. We simply can not deny the somatic links to unexpressed anger. At some point in the future, I want to try holding therapy. But I'm not there yet.
Keep up the good work.
