I'm angry. Angry and tired, tired of catering to people's fickle emotional needs, tired of trying not to hurt or offend anyone, tired of worrying about whether or not I will. Tired of being a slave to people's irrational feelings. I'm soo mad at all of them, at everybody, for being so irrational, for being so unable to take responsibility for their own god d*m*ed emotions. I want to feel that I don't have to take this responsibility. I don't know why I do. Why do I? I want to be allowed to be angry. Does everybody want to be able to feel this way, or to feel what they want to feel? Does everybody want to take responsibility for their emotions? To not have me cater to them, but to be able to be angry at me when I do something they don't like, or ignore or don't do what they want and think is a reasonable request? To not have to worry about being polite or friendly? I dunno, maybe I'm on to something here, or maybe this is just another false lead. Well, I'll find out soon enough.
Angela, on a side note, maybe this could help you with future sessions. Create a safe place for the person to be angry, a place where they don't feel they have to worry about yelling or swearing around you. I don't know, maybe you thought that was implicit, but if you make it explicitly stated perhaps that could help people with a lot of pent up anger. That is, if you're willing to put up with it
