Most people who have entered into any type of psychodynamic therapy have probably been told that suppressing anger is a surefire way to induce depression. Why is it then, that it is so difficult to unload our anger at the appropriate time in an appropriate manner toward the actual source of our anger? I am still stewing over some month-old anger. I discussed this particular thunder cloud of anger in a previous post. Now that I think of it, my ambivalence has fueled my anger in that case. I've been trying not to misplace my anger. As you probably know, if you have read this far, this is extremely hard to do. I'm not depressed at the moment, but thinking about my rage and discussing it in analysis is certainly taking up a lot of my time.
