English term or phrase: hotbed (in this context)
"And the feeling that he is often sitting perfectly still on the *hotbed* of angry feelings in orden to contain them also means that there is always the posibility that he could himself explode as well"

mi versión provisional:

Y la sensación de que a menudo está sentado, completamente quieto, en un *criadero* de sentimientos exasperados, para contenerlos, significa además que existe la posibilidad de que finalmente él mismo también explote.

"hervidero" proved as the most Spanish-sounding word!
As for "borbollar" Rafaela it's been awarded as the most colourful answer (though no Kudoz much to my sorry) A pitty that it doesn't fit the context!
