Hey T3rminator,

Just to fill you in on a little of my back ground, I am Thai born, adopted at 3 months old and lived in Australia ever since. I am definitely not unfamiliar with racism growing up. I have been called all sorts and yeah it affected me too. Coming from another asian born person and living in Australia, I know how you feel.

I too have these anger issues and I sometimes playout revenge scenarios in my head but I find all that does for me is generate unnecessary adrenaline so I have to teach myself to be more peaceful. It's not an easy thing to learn and the first step is always to accept that you have the issue and you WILL do something about it. Be it hypnotherapy, yoga, religion, sport or something as long as its non self sabotaging. i.e. alcohol, drugs etc.

I also recommend having someone close to you that you can openly talk to face to face or at least over the phone. I find they can give a cold hard dose of reality and often getting something off your chest is a way of therapy too. But as Full Noise said, go with what has worked for you in the past. Yes your regular hypnotherapy has moved on, but you can find another one. Its about the techniques they use rather than the individual themselves at the end of the day.

If you ever need to talk though man, feel free and PM me. Happy to chat.

Shav
