GEL, actually TS was quoting cobra. I've stayed away from this free-for-all, up until now, that is.

Actually things like repressed anger usually don't come up in therapy. Things that are repressed don't usually come up at all. As for regular anger coming up in therapy, it usually doesn't either. People are usually on their best behavior in therapy. It can take months or years before people will let themselves get angry at or in the presence of a therapist. And when couples go to therapy together, there is often unspoken collusion between them to keep the worst of their sitch from showing up. Sometimes it's the first cooperative gesture between them in years.
The question in my mind is can you reply graciously to my post or will you find something in it that insulted you so you can feel attacked? Hmmm... I'm curiously waiting and watching.
