Empowered by Anger?

[The People]

MD we used to belong to a 12 step program called ISA. Same steps. I remember being stuck on the one where you make amends. it was early in recovery and that step pissed me off. why should I apologize??????? eventually I recognized that I too have hurt others. Sometimes as a guard but still...

As for the anger we used to facilitate. we covered anger management - those who can't, teach. But the philosophy behind anger was that it was a secondary emotion. a shield to cover fear, frustration, loss of control or hurt. i am most likely to explode when I am hurt. always been that way. better to attack than be attacked. for us anger is the hardest thing to work out.
