3/4 true bullshit
Anger is energy. Someone or something interacts with you and suddenly, boom, it's there, building up inside. And you start to seethe, and you start to burn up, and you've got to let it out. Somehow. Or it'll consume you and leave nothing behind but the ashes of your soul.
But you can't let it all out at once; the river cannot let all its water flow to the ocean simultaneously, for it leaves a dry bed and the mouth is flooded. Anger is energy. Let it flow; do not let it explode. And as it flows, think of how good it feels to let it go; and as it ends, notice the feeling of wholeness you now have.
The river of anger flows in and out of you; you are nothing but a port on its bank. Do not dam it, or it will flood you over. Build your levees to prepare for the sudden storms. And, above all, let the river nourish you as it passes by. A little burn is always good for the heart.
