Excessive Anger Issues Resolved

I came to Arlene (Arlene Green, US ICPKP faculty member) to work specifically on my anger. I would become irrationally and excessively angry over minor incidents, usually involving my 5 year old daughter. After an explosion, my head would feel odd for hours, i.e. my thinking processes were slower, it was difficult to concentrate, and I was even more potentially explosive. At the same time, I felt like I was in a fog. I also had experiences of disassociation during my explosions where part of me would be wondering why I was behaving as I was, but was unable to stop that behaviour. One balance and affirmation session with Arlene and all of this stopped. I rarely got angry and when I did the anger was more appropriate and much less intense. My therapist explored anger with me for two more sessions after my work with Arlene, and we moved on to other issues. I have reviewed my list of affirmations six times or fewer, yet this improvement has continued to this day, four months later.
