This is why "anger management" never worked for me in the long run. People refuse to acknowledge that I have legit reasons to be angry at the sh*t I get angry at.
Yes, I understand that I can't control these morons' behaviors, so I should focus on trying to control my own feelings & how I deal with them.
But it should still be acknowledged that the things these people are doing/saying are IN FACT F**KING STUPID
Most therapists don't wanna agree with you on that. I'm not gonna take you seriously as a professional if you can't even be honest & rational enough to call things/people what they objectively are. I'll let you help me with my anger when you can admit that the things I'm getting angry at really shouldn't be happening in the first place. YOU need to understand that WHAT you're helping me with is how to better deal with all the WRONG things that are being done & said around me. If you're under the impression that the things/people I'm angry at are actually worthy of respect, then you are unqualified.
