Hey there. The best way I have found to deal with anger, is to try and channel it through exercise or something that drives me forward to challenge my status quo.
Sometimes our emotions can become so fixated within us, that they build and build until we just explode. The best way I can see, to deal with these feelings, is to work with them through the body first, then the mind/soul soon after.
Just remember that anger is energy and it needs to go somewhere..... sending it somewhere positive is the best thing you can do for yourself this minute!
Best wishes. C

hi billy, possible trigger,
My anger or rage comes from being trapped for a long time since childhood in a place that was not safe, around people who harmed me. So the rage has built up since then and added to that, was all the abuse and trauma I suffered after I grew up too and could not get away. It makes sense that we feel so much rage at people who harmed us when we were helpless and could not punch them, get them to stop hurting us, or leave for whatever reason.
But you survived and you are here to express your rage. Keep talking about it, draw it, tell therapist, try to get one of you don't have one, who hurt you and what you would like to do to them, I do this, when we were tortured, it is natural to want to put rage back on people who did this to us. Can cry. Rip up cardboard boxes. Doesn't mean we are going to do it, just getting it out of ourselves.
We cannot go around doing it unless we want to hurt people and ourselves. So we have to process it and get it out, hitting sticks, running, punching bag, shooting range, whatever helps you feel you get it out. Write a letter to who hurt you and explain or draw what you would like to do to them, or what your rage looks and feels like to you, however it feels to you, whatever feels like your rage. Just suggestions.
Good for you for writing, getting it out. It is normal to have so much anger if one has gone through trauma and has ptsd. Be kind to self, compassionate. Just suggestions.

Anger is a very very healthy emotion. We just need to know how to express it and get it out because it's keeping it in that harms us. For me I manage to express it in writing and you will find what works for you. It might take a bit of exploring but you will find it.
