How do I let go of pent up anger towards an ex?

Ask yourself why you are angry towards your ex and investigate those feelings. Write them down in a journal. Write a letter to you ex (not to actually give) and put all your emotions on the letter and throw it away after. Once you understand why you're so angry, it will be easier to let go. Be aware that you have moved on and are in a different, hopefully better, place and what happened in the past has made you who are today and was necessary for growth.

Take the anger out. Say it, write it replay it with someone and speak all those things you are angry about and then address the pain behind the anger.

For me, i just try to forgive what he has done to me. I know it's hard. But i always thinking that it's useless if i keep angry to him. I have to make up my self. I have to be a positive women, so when he look at me, i'm a different person from what i used to be. And make him regret what he has done

Define pent up anger? Anger is usually stemmed from pain. Either it is someone hurt you or vise versa. I guess forgiveness; even if its not for them, but for you. Acceptance of your new reality; that the person is your ex and a new chapter has begun. Taking happiness from what was good and what was felt, experienced and enjoyed. To see it as a learning opportunity; what not to do.

Anger is understandable in situations where it is justified. But it can be crippling. This can affect most areas of your life. But! You can do a number of things. You can engage in activities that channel all this anger healthily. You could distract yourself from thinking about your experience by taking up challenges. Or you could try meditating and face it head on. You could also focus on your hobbies or interests. It is ultimately your choice. You can choose to let this anger poke its nose into your daily life or you could take it by its horns and defeat it. But please remember, whatever you do, change won't happen within a moment's breath. It takes time. Make peace with it. I wish you a blessed future! :)

As time goes on, it makes it easier for us to let go of anger. There are a few ways I've learned over the years. Since this person is your ex, then it probably wouldn't do you any good trying to speak to that person. But talking about your anger to someone who is unbiased helps. As time goes on, the more experiences you gain, you'll feel that there's more to life ahead of you and letting go and moving on will come naturally... if you let it.

It can be difficult to get past the anger. Once you move towards your own progress path you will feel better.

First of all, have you spoken about them to anyone. If you haven't it may seem a bit like an unfinished book.

Talk about it to someone like a friend or someone here.

For me I had to vent it out and then I had to do the hard part, I had to forgive him so that I could heal and move forward.
