Personalize
Personalize the question by Event Analysis, associating real events that have happened to one in the past, and reliving that experience such that one elicits the emotions that were inherent in the circumstance. The exploration of real situations in the past may have influenced the way one is in the present. Conclusions may have been drawn which support a larger perspective of the way one perceives oneself and reality in general. Certain prejudices may still exist in which specific past circumstance was supporting evidence. One can analyze past events from a more objective perspective.
The purpose of analysis is to discover the manifestations of the way one is, which may be unconscious, wherein the motives and origins are bound up in past experience. The process of uncovering allows for the possibility to discover and change thinking and action, which has become automatic. However the objective must be the admission of truth to the best of one's ability. The process of Event Analysis allows for the individual to revisit past experience as an independent investigator, the purpose of which is to not act as an advocate to promote, defend and justify the self, in past modes of thinking and action, in which no possibility of change will be forth-coming. But rather the purposes should be an attempt at truthful assessment and objective review of past circumstances and events.

What is anger?
Sometimes the associations that come to mind can be provocative. Connections may appear that one would never expect. From one question there may become many avenues to explore. Many of these unexpected associations are based on feelings and unconscious states, such as forgotten and suppressed experience, wherein in past states these feelings and emotions were a present and real reality and experience. There exists within the mental/emotional relationship at any given time a status quo, in which the individual has dealt with conflicts in various ways, quite often by avoidance, refusing to think about them and suppression or memory lapse. Things may come out which are unpleasant, scary, difficult to contemplate and face, things that one may have buried and suppressed for good reason.
But there it is and it is a part of one and what one is. And one may not want to pursue these connections. It takes getting used to the unconscious and hidden self, sometimes nasty stuff and not pleasant, which was the reason it was buried in the first place. Leave it in the closet. It will always be there rotting. Maybe get rid of it. Drag it out and take a look at it. At first one may not want to deal with it. It is also possible that maybe one shouldn't in some cases, as things like violence, abuse, molestation, incest, without outside help, which can sometimes be problematic also, depending on the mentality of the outside agent.
Obviously the most fruitful course is to pursue provocative associative conflicts and resolve them. Sometimes provocative connections which are difficult to contemplate, are best left alone until one gets used to the idea of them. By comparing them to other similar contexts, they may come to seem not so bad after all.
Something that is hopefully learned from the system of analysis is a means of concentration. or to stick to the point. rather than wander from place to point after point never resolving any one thing. One explores the implications derived from a question and eliminates or subtracts what is erroneous. Of all the many unorganized information one discards much of it and is left singular problems and solutions as categories of which to explore by experience. Maybe hit the idea of categorization of ideas to make them easily manageable.
