Talking to a therapist really does help. Mine doesn't have answers but just to get things off your chest without judgment is REALLY a big help. I also listen to music. Usually sad songs just so I can cry.my anger usually subsides for a while.

I have to get away from everything and everyone if I’m triggered. Sensory deprivation to the best of my ability. I’ll just sit on my knees with my head down and eyes closed so it’s dark and hands covering my ears. It has kept me from a lot of physical reactions like throwing things. Just remember, emotions CANT hurt you. They can’t. You can sit with an emotion and feel completely awful and not do anything about it.
