My partner has gotten a lot out of IFS (internal family systems) as a way to engage with different parts of her psyche: https://ifs-institute.com/nobadparts . The title of the book, "No Bad Parts", is a pretty good summary of the approach. I haven't gotten too far investigating IFS, but so far it resonates with aspects of mindful meditation practice that have taught me to explore my thoughts and feelings with curiosity rather than judgment.

Yes. I've found that my anger is repressed and I've learned to suppress it, too. It tends to burst out in unhealthy ways which got me into therapy for a few years. It's much healthier to recognize my anger and engage with it so I can direct its output in positive ways rather than letting the pressure build until I lash out at someone who doesn't deserve it.

It is OK to be angry, probably good, even, when it is called for.
