I don't know tack. I tend to scoff a little bit at the 'healing' thing because it is so over used and abused. Not everything is wound that needs to heal. Experiencing a negative emotion doesn't mean that we are broken. If you can't choose what you feel, then why assume that you're broken?
People feel rage sometimes. It doesn't mean they are broken. It doesn't mean that they need to heal. It just means that they need to use appropriate coping mechanisms. Going for a walk to cool down is one the best coping mechanisms. And it is the coping mechanism that Benny tried to use that time that he experienced an episode of rage, ten years ago.
