I am feeling myself less angry after reading how you describe what your thoughts are on abusers. You are the great diffuser! This Thanksgiving I will be one less angry man because I know what stirs inside of me and will take the direction of help in therapy. The heaviness of my cold heart has softened. I misdirected my anger for many years not knowing why? I am, was, a verbally abusive angry man. I\u2019m trying to be nicer these days. In the last month after reading ST I started journaling like you suggested. Tons of crap came out. OMG Thank you, Karen! God Bless you! God Bless Dr. Baer! OH! The book was very educational. I am not a mpd patient but have been abused and it helped me too!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Mr. Adrian<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Cocoa Beach, FL<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Mr. Adrian,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your honesty in sharing your once misdirected anger towards others. That means a lot to me. I am glad to hear that you came to a new realization that helped diffuse your anger. I&#8217;m glad\u00a0you chose to make an effort and control your anger during the holidays especially.\u00a0I&#8217;m sure you\u00a0felt better about yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Journaling helped me vent\u00a0on paper. My anger, frustration, and inner turmoil\u00a0poured out\u00a0through my writings. I believe everyone should journal. It\u2019s a release that can help one understand oneself better. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for all your\u00a0wonderful compliments! It&#8217;s very rewarding to hear that something in my story helped you see what you had not seen before. One of my favorite quotes is: &#8220;Vision is the art of seeing things invisible&#8221; &#8212; Jonathan Swift. That&#8217;s what you have accomplished within yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Wishing you all my best as you continue to be your best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Karen<\/span><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Mr Adrian on 24 Nov 2009 at 2:32 pm WOW Karen!
