Raindrops don't laugh..... but I started this with my autistic son many years ago and have used it myself over the last three years. I go and buy a piņata that either looks like the person I'm angry with (i.e. AH) or that freaking Elmo piņata, we thinks about it and write down all the things that make us angry, then we write down on different paper all the good things we want to happen. Then we beat the hell out of the piņata, to the point we tear it into a million pieces and burn it with all the bad thoughts. It makes us laugh and the physical expression really helps let the anger go. Then we end the evening burning the good thoughts we want to happen. We call it piņata therapy and our therapist said its very healthy (thank goodness) If you don't find a way to "exercise" the anger it will eat you up. I know it sounds crazy but get some very close friends and have fun with it, they even will want a shot at your piņata for you, Im sure of it.
