Just a note - healing anger actually makes you more powerful, not less. Would I be correct in saying that if people push the right buttons in you, that you can become extremely angry very quickly? If so thats not powerful, that makes you a slave and easily manipulated.

But having said that I really admire that you've been able to turn your negative experiences into achievement, thats good going.
I think we define negative or positive emotions by whether they make us feel good or bad. The outcome of those emotions is irrelevant. For example anger is a bad emotion, even if you use it to your advantage or you release it and it feels good.
