Conquering Feelings of Guilt
By Birgit Wolz, Ph.D., MFT
We may come from a family that encouraged us to feel overly responsible through blaming or finding fault whenever things went wrong. Super-responsibility may have been seen as an asset as we grew up. The down side is that throughout life even a trivial infraction noticed by some authority figure (parents, teachers, employers, etc.) instilled in us a sense of failure, guilt, and diminished self-worth.

Survivor Guilt
By Mitchell Milch, LCSW
Therapy provides a holding environment; an environment of acceptance, interest and concern for the client and his guilt provoking wishes, feelings, fantasies, etc. The therapist nurtures the client’s entitlement to enjoy his life and to stand up against his self-defeating and misery-generating patterns of being. Thus, the survivors of survivor guilt learn to do better than just survive.
Effectively Coping with Anger
By Grant Kono, LCSW
You may think that your anger tends to come out of the blue, that you're generally a calm, rational person. What's more often the case is that you learn to live with a certain amount of suppressed anger and that every once in awhile the amount of anger that you normally feel and are normally capable of managing becomes agitated by an event, causing you to need to vent the extra anger that you now cannot manage, much like a pressure cooker venting steam.
