What does "angry place" mean?

Answer

It's simply colloquial English for thoughts that you have when feeling angry or destructive. An internal source for those thoughts if you prefer to think of it like that.

Saying "my/a happy place" is more common, meaning a place you go to in your head when you want to daydream about things that make you happy. "an angry place" would be understood by the listener to be the opposite of that.
