Why am I so angry over things that do not deserve it, and why do I hate myself

afterward? The anger is real. It is just aimed at the wrong person.

This is a session with a client who stopped himself in the middle of an argument

with his wife and said, I have so much more anger right now than is warranted for

this conversation, and I don't totaly understand why. Underneath it was not the

money he was arguing about. It was displaced anger from a childhood in which

his deeper needs and wants were never considered, landing on the person

standing closest. We cover the Worst Day Cycle™ of trauma, fear, shame and

denial, the Authentic Self Cycle™ of truth, responsibility, healing and forgiveness,

and the six steps of the Emotional Authenticity Method™ you can use the next

time your anger is bigger than the moment in front of you.

Displaced anger is a form of denial and self-deception. It is when we transfer

anger away from the person we would like to express it toward and onto

somebody who is just like them, because the original person was too big to be

angry at and our life depended on them.

Anger is almost always either displaced onto a stand-in or turned back on

ourselves. To find out which, write down anything you judge, blame, hate or

criticize, then turn every you into I. What you say about them is what you are

doing to yourself, directly or metaphoricaly.

The people you keep getting angry at are satelites, interchangeable versions of

a parent you are stil angry at. Removing one satelite never ends the pattern,

because the one at the center has not been dealt with. That is why no single

relationship ever looks like the problem.

A 2020 study of 326 trauma-exposed adults in the journal Psychological Trauma

found that experiential avoidance fuly mediates the relationship between shame

and post-traumatic stress symptoms. It is not the shame that keeps a person

stuck. It is the refusal to feel it, which is exactly what displacement is for.
