I often recommend the book “Taming the Tiger Within” by Thich Nhat Hanh for working with Anger and difficult emotions.

What often happens when we lash out at people is we begin beating ourselves up for it. This increases our stress and it is more likely you will lash out again.

the Mindful Psychotherapeutic approach is to become aware of this cycle and choose a different response to the self and eventually to other people. We can apologize to others for hurting them and begin to nurture this discomfort within us with more love and kindness. This may be difficult, but inevitably it is a more effective path for us and others than beating ourselves up.

The question I have is: Why are they unwanted?

For me (a very heady person) it helps to know why I am feeling so intensely about [whatever it is].

I write in a journal.

I contemplate what I would be doing if I allowed the feeling full expression.
