Thank you for encouraging baby steps. I think that is what we did today. But in some ways it seemed very adolescent to me, "this is what you did wrong, and this, and this." Aren't we supposed to own our reactions and protect our own selves from hurt?
I think you are right, our therapists would love to see our rage and anger But I can't picture me ever raging, at least not out loud. I rage pretty well on the page. I do think some of this is more justified than the rest of it. It seems OK to be mad at my mother, but not my husband and not my therapist. Yes, I know, I'm judging myself again.
The hardest part about feeling these feelings is not knowing what to do with them. I keep thinking about Antigua and her bat. Maybe I need to get one.
