> Like Noa, I have come to terms with the anger over actual events in my past, but I know I still have unresolved anger. Everything I've read says that "anger needs to be released". What I can never figure out, is how do you release anger that has no target? How do you resolve a rage that seems to come from nowhere, has no apparent cause? This rage that is just in there, like a sleeping dragon, and can be awakened(by the stupidest little irritations)into a screaming, cursing, roar of indignity? How do you get rid of a dragon, when you don't know how he got in, in the first place? CarolAnn

I am seriously looking for answers about anger too. CarolAnn, for me too, it is like a sleeping dragon, awakened by the stupidest of things.

Once I saw a therapist who wanted me to role play - I found that to be very humiliating and never went back. I am thinking of trying EMDR therapy, as the thought of talking about all that garbage for 5-10 years is extremely unappealing. I believe I have PSTD - because certain memories cause extreme emotional reactions from me I cannot control.

How many types of anger are there?

Carlos Santanas mentioned on 60 minutes about his PTSD from being molested every second day for a 2 to 3 year period. He said he was always angry, and his wife got fed up with him.

One thing I have noticed about my anger is that Dexedrine gives me the power to control whether or not I show it.

CarolAnn, any more insights, sounds like you know alot. Janice
