After about 2 years, the anger sessions just mostly stopped happening; I guess my poor damaged brain can learn new stuff after all.

What really ticks me off (just kidding!) is that I could have headed off legal problems had I only known what was happening with my brain. This is why it's so important for people like us to share our experiences.
As I had mentioned earlier, I too have had anger management issues. It never occurred to me the loss of control which cost me my job shortly after the injury (something that prior to the concussion was not a issue) may have been related to the injury that happened in the very office I lost control in. I don't want to blame it all on the bump on the head, but it explains so much in the change in my attitudes and behavior since the injury.
