Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy birthday, Lee!!
Tom -- have you tried something physical, like boxing or krav maga? Also, writing is incredibly useful in therapy -- you can say anything, and then you can keep it, burn it, rip it up, whatever.
Not a pro, just some thoughts.

still think Richard should be buried in York.
Startled me a bit to read that first thing in the morning.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Lee!

Is it free-floating anger, Tom, or anger at specific people/situations? Do you fear that if you let it out at a "deserving" target, that you wouldn't be able to react appropriately to other aggravating situations? Also, remember that anger can be a sign/symptom of depression, anxiety, and other things. (I decided I needed meds when I was way overblowing how annoyed I was vs should be at the TSA and lines and people in them--they can be obnoxious/annoying, but not THAT bad usually!) Best of luck. Do you feel like the therapy is helping?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm angry at my parents; except that they're my parents and I love them and I don't want to be angry at them. I also don't want to be like my dad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Anger is a hard emotion to deal with, Tom. It's wonderful that you can even recognize it's there and needs some kind of attention.
At the risk of getting all woo, maybe meditation? Not to try to calm yourself down or not be angry, but to give you a setting where you can be angry and not have to do anything about it, just let the anger arise and not feel bad about having it or need to fix it or express it. That is, of course, not as easy as it might be either, but it's pretty cool when it happens.
Many happy returns, Lee!
Also loving all the Richard III news!
