The idea that anger can be a compass rather than just a problem to suppress is a useful one. Sometimes the disproportionate reaction is the clue that something deeper has been touched especially around boundaries, values, or old wounds. I also like the distinction between understanding anger and simply releasing it. Hitting the gym might discharge the energy, but it doesn't necessarily tell you why that particular situation had so much power over you. That question is where the real self awareness starts.

Thank you for reading, Frank!
It's my pleasure.
