The anger management discussion on this thread are interesting, as that's my biggest issue. My IC seems to really want to dig thru my childhood, but I don't think there's any great breakthrough to be had there. The nature VS nurture debate isn't going to be resolved based on my case, but my dad has a quick temper, and his dad was an alcoholic, and probably physically abusive. I'm more interested in behavor modification and delaying the anger reaction and getting it under control, proportionate and appropriate to the situation. Like quitting smoking, or losing weight and keeping it off, I realize that his is going to have to be a long-term, permanent effort, not a short term fix.
