In our email exchange, Marshall pointed out: "They always say prisoners break not when they're being tortured, but when they've been given a break, treated well, and then the torture begins again." My response: 8/

Thanks for sharing. I have had experience with Cluster B individuals (family members) and they can be no joke, deadly serious menaces. I’m sorry to hear about your assault. How you are approaching recovery and rehab is inspirational. Glad to see you posting again.

Very inspiring stuff thanks for sharing! There is one thing that I, personally, can’t relate to well. Harnessing anger as a motivator. For whatever reason, I don’t often feel anger, which is actually a different problem because it makes my “pressure tank” (to borrow your analogy) very small 1/4

For me, I’m usually most motivated to do things for others. And if people do something that would make most people angry, it usually makes me feel sad that the situation exists. 2/4

So while I feel very little anger and thus don’t need to control it for the most part, I’ve noticed that this has resulted in a lack of practice with anger management and when I do get angry (rarely… like a once a year sort of situation), I can’t keep my emotions in check. 3/4

Seems like a recipe for disaster, but luckily I’m also averse to violence, so angry outbursts are limited to yelling, or storming off. Very infrequent, so it’s not been a problem in my life, but still I don’t like the fact that I’ve lost control in the first place. 4/4
