Occasional Outbursts of Rage

Suppose you suppress your anger most of the time so you don’t even feel it, but occasionally you lose control in an angry outburst or explode in rage. These explosions may scare you as well as other people.

For example, Don didn’t have a big issue with anger most of the time, but every once in a while his wife would do something that triggered him to go on an angry rant at her. Whenever he did, she would be scared and deeply hurt. He would have no idea what happened and would feel terrible about what he had done. He vowed to never do it again, but sooner or later he did.

When Don went inside to work on his Angry Part in an IFS session, he saw it as a huge, powerful demon. This image didn’t represent what the part was actually like. Instead, it showed how much the part has been vilified in his mind. In other words, when Don was seeing the part as a demon, he wasn’t in Self—he was blended with his Inner Controller, which saw his Angry Part as evil.
