It's been a help with my temper, and it's been helpful at understanding why I feel the way I do about certain things. Anger (for me) isn't always anger, it's frustration or exhaustion or something more complex. But it's easier to default to anger because it gets the poison out of your body and puts it on someone else.

"Am I mad? I feel like I am expected to be, but I'm not" ..... comes from shedding the burden of others' expectations and really living within what is true to you!
