Session 6 is interesting and I plan to stay on it for awhile. A lot of what Lucinda said in the tape applies to me. I recall how growing up I used to be so angry. Little things would set me off like arguing over who was right with my brother. Something small like that would escalate into a yelling/screaming fest and I would soon forget the originating matter that made me angry in the first place. My throat would be sore from yelling and my heart would pump so hard that I felt like my chest would explode. I easily got angry at home with my family but in school I was the model student. Quiet, nice, studious, pleasant. No one would ever believe that I was that... abusive and horrid at home.

It's interesting looking back at it now, how much anger I had. As Lucinda noted, we tend to get angry/show our anger with our loved ones because they will still love and accept us. We (or at least I) worry about how others would think of us. It's that public/private life that we try hard to maintain, choosing what things we allow others to see.
Much of that rage I had has died down on its own. Of course I still get angry but I don't blow up like how I did in the past. I'm still working on issues with impatience/irritation/annoyance.

Any improvement, even something minor, is something to cheer about. Hope all is well September group!
