So your method of dealing with anger is not working too well. Maybe you have one of the anger related ailments listed in yesterday’s post but don’t really believe you have an anger issue.

When I was going through depression, I talked to someone who had experienced depression. He told me that his therapist told him his depression was caused from suppressed anger. At the time I thought, “that’s not me, I don’t feel any anger.” But isn’t that what suppressed means? You don’t know about it! I was working through a lot of self help books, trying to get better. One workbook said to write a letter to someone you are mad at. I thought, I’m not mad at anyone, but I decided to do the exercise anyway and started writing a letter to the first person who popped into my head. Let me tell you, there are no coincidences; there is a reason a memory, a person, an event, pops into your head. As I wrote the tears came and the emotion came out. Boy was I surprised! But the biggest surprise was how I felt afterwards. The depression was gone! That was 17 years ago and the depression has not returned.

But what if you know you have an anger issue and just acknowledging it doesn’t help. Let me assure you there are methods that can help. A great method is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or one of the other meridian tapping techniques. This can produce very fast and lasting results. My husband once had a difficult event that left him with much anger. He asked for my help. I did several rounds of EFT with him for the anger and it dissolved. He said afterwards it felt like there was a hole where the anger had been. He could feel where the anger had been but there wasn’t anything there now. That anger never came back and over time was replaced with compassion.

Your anger may be from a single incident  like my husband’s or from a multitude of events. It doesn’t matter, EFT can handle it all. Give it a try for yourself.
