These angry feelings probably feel “bad” to you. You may be trying to repress your anger and be forgiving. This is what you have been taught. Yet if you do not acknowledge your anger, it can “go underground” and stay with you. Thus it is more productive to accept, understand, and process your anger consciously. In doing this, it is critical to realize that your anger about your life experience is about your survival — not about the wrongdoing of others. We are not talking about blame.
