Harmful it becomes only, when you cannot completely accept and contain that feeling and start uncontrollably act it out. I cannot see it harmful having your ex-guru as an object of hate, and that way being able to process and work with your emotions. Objects of idealization tend to at some point turn to objects of hate. It is totally natural and normally leads to inner growth. When young I used to hate my mother more than anything in the world. That didn't make me hurt her physically and I was mostly in friendly terms externally with her and helping her in many ways. Then one day the hatred was gone. A lot of healing had happened in me during that period. I am more capable to contain and appreciate all kinds of emotions inside. Hate is a most natural and useful emotion to me. It has often served as a driving motor for healing and also for new aspects to evolve in me.
