[Ailist] anger

[Rainey211@aol.com]

Deb,

I agree that anger is a valid emotion and is separate from the 
behavior/reactions that we may have while "feeling" the emotion. I have found 
most want their feelings to be acknowledged so that they can move forward 
with whatever path they choose in dealing with the emotion. Acknowledgment is 
a crucial step that follows awareness for me. And applying any process (AI or 
other) would then follow. I agree that the emotion may hinder forward 
movement if not recognized and honored with the individual. I have witnessed 
this with rehab groups that I work with and seen just how powerful AI has 
been with empowering them and getting them out of a "spinning" cycle. Thanks 
for offering your views on this.
