Re: Anger chocolate

Oh, how frustrating for you! That situation was just out of your control -

or at least, it must have felt that way. Poor you.

I reckon you can turn this around though - I just listen to episode 20, the

one where talks about her client who said " thank you burrito " ! And

she talked about how the burrito helped to signpost a trigger/situation

that they'd not worked on yet - in your case, I guess it would be the

trigger of feeling hugely frustrated in a situation beyond your control.

Is it maybe a re-do moment for you? What would you like to have done

differently, and how?
