Default Does Anyone Have Trouble Finding Their Anger?

From what I've read on this forum, it seems like many PTSD sufferers struggle with anger issues--which totally makes sense and fits with the common PTSD symptoms. I, however, seem to have the opposite issue. Whenever I have to fill out one of those PTSD bubble-sheet test-things, one of the only areas where I am a "0" is on anger issues. I just can't seem to "find" my anger. I can get angry when I hear someone wronging someone else, but when it comes to myself and my own trauma, it's like there's nothing there.

I don't think I'm numb or anything, (especially since I tend to go into panic mode at the smallest reminder of my trauma), but I just can't seem to get angry. I have been told by previous therapists that I need to get my anger out, but how do I find it? Does anyone have a similar experience? Is it healthy NOT to be angry?
