Hi all--just looking for any feedback on tape 6--I am just starting it.

Hi Micki,
I also am currently on week 6. I started about 3 days ago. I can't remember off hand what I scored on the anger "test". It was low though. I don't really have an anger problem. I used to. My ex-boyfriend and I dated for about 5 years and it was a really bad relationship the last 2 years. We were verbally abusive and sometimes even physically abusive toward eachother. I was a total bitch. When I met my husband, I was pretty mellow. Then I started haveing my anxiety and panic attacks and I got really angry. One day we got into a fight and I slapped him! He said something like I didn't have the mentallity to watch our daughter. This relly got me scared because I already thought I was going crazy and that is how I reacted. One day I threw a candle at him too and hit him on the back. I then realized that it's just not good. I love my husband so much and he is so supportive. I am now very mellow, it's almost "scary". I have a lot more patience than I ever dreamed! Sure I still get angry over some things, I'll never be "perfect". ha ha. How are you doing through the program? How do you relate to week 6? I still definately feel that even though I'm not an "angry" person, I can still use these skills and benefit from them.

Hi HealingGirl
Actually, I am doing pretty good with tape #6-I can relate alot. I would get so upset over little things that I would panic. I was then afraid to get angry, thinking it would cause me to panic. This tape really sums up alot of my problems. I am now able to either see it is not worth getting upset over, or I am able to voice my anger in a more productive way.
Good Luck!

I have a real problem with anger but it seems to be directed at my immediate family only. I just started the program so I have not made it to that tape yet but I can totally relate. ~ Flutterby
