That's my point.

It feels like it goes away, but chances are good it doesn't. If you're afraid of what happens if you let it out, chances are good that there is internal pressure.

Those of us with a skill for dissociation just are pretty good at separating ourselves from the feelings of anger.

Which leaves them there ready to emerge at times when there may not even be a clear link.

I tell my therapist that it seems like I strip memories of emotional content. The memory goes in one file, and I can relate it calmly. The emotion goes into a big vat called anger or sadness or happiness or whatever. And sometimes a small experience of the same emotion opens the door to the vat and way more than is appropriate spills out.

For me anyway.
