I found someone who has given me great hope towards dealing with my anger.
Her name is Sandra Eagle; she practices something called Transformational Therapy. According to Sandra, my anger was originally caused when I came, at some point in my past, to a conclusion that doesn’t serve me—that doesn’t allow me to be standing in my wholeness. Because I came to the wrong conclusion, this mistake fragments me. My anger keeps coming back as if it’s trying to get my attention.
Sandra said it is offering me something. I think what my anger is offering me is protection from a perceived harm. I give my anger life because I have made a decision not to trust. So my core belief is "I am not safe." Instead of "I am safe."
When I feel afraid, my anger rises up as if to protect me, even when it is not needed. Almost always it is not.
Sandra had me picture my anger which I immediately saw in my mind's eye as a big, round, ugly reddish-pink, fearsome but also cartoonish, character.
Her powerful visualization went on from there but I don’t want to give away too much of her procedure which includes more visualization and sound.
What I will say is that dealing with the anger has already had a powerful effect. I feel I have come to the right place and am doing the right thing. After years of having my anger rule me, I have finally located it. I can see it, and am learning how to deal with it by knowing its root cause and knowing that it’s something I—at least under usual circumstances—no longer have use for.
