Anger stemming from trauma
I need some help.
I have been holding in a lot of anger. And it usually lashes out toward the people that deserve it the least. I have so much trauma to work through from my life that I just have not been able to. Meds havent worked (though the meds I used were for bipolar because I also have bipolar as well)... regular talk therapy hasnt helped.
My question is, for those of you who also experience intense anger that stems from your PTSD/trauma, what actually helps you cope so you dont lash out? I dont want to hurt the people I love and dont want to keep pushing people away. So, how have you been able to lessen the anger and its hold on you? Should I go to anger management? Is that helpful for anger that is specific to PTSD/trauma?
