I like what 2sense said.
I was very angry when I was young and can be made to very angry very quickly. It takes a lot of experience and practice to learn how to manage or channel anger to be useful for you. Find a better therapist to be a coach, maybe see about talking to a lawyer. Some do probono work for people who dont have much money and sometimes theyll just talk to you for nothing.
Instead of anger management, try classes or seminars in dispute resolution and negotiation. There are some good books about it. Its ok to be angry, you can learn to channel it to achieve justice or whatever you want to see happen. But there are ways of expressing it that are ok vs those that are not. So you can learn ways to express it that will let you keep friends and boyfriends with you instead of turning them away.JohnD
