The Angry Letter


Hello gang!
Here is "The Angry Letter". I got this blank letter format as a hand out, at the healing center I attended. It has been tantamount in getting me out of a sticky issue especially one laden with internalized anger.
It is a letter that can be written to the thing or person you have the most divergence with: to yourself, to your ex, to your partner, to your parents, to your anxiety or depression, to your debt, to life, to death, to God.
In my case I wrote it to my addiction and anxiety. A letter which I will share next week in my alcohol addiction recovery blog
Use each of these unfinished sentences, at least once in the letter. Use any of them more than once or supplement your own. Write as many pages as you need. This letter is not for the person you write to, it is for you and it is used as a means to help you come to terms with repressed anger. Feel free to copy and paste in order to fill out the blanks.
