¶ Anger (2)
Index Entry
"to myself, ‘I don’t feel that way.’ – I immediately get it under control. I don’t say I’m not angry… I am glad to have these devices that we have that put us on warning…
Q: “How do you get it under control?”
RBF: “Because I have had so much experience in it. I know how destructive it is. I can say this is preposterous behavior on my part, very destructive behavior. And experiences have taught me that-- how many times people around me who love me used to me being gentle–how shocked they are when they see me get angry.”
Q: “One of the major feelings in psychiatry is that anger causes a tremendous or large number of problems because people get angry and deny to themselves that they are angry.”
RBF: “I do it just the other way, sir… It is debilitating.”
