Anger

Anger is a much maligned emotion. When we are young we might be discouraged from expressing it because it seems to be one of those 'wrong' feelings. Like anxiety, sadness and jealousy. Everyone seems happier when we express the 'right' emotions like happiness, love and gratitude.
But anger is no different from any other emotion. It is an expression of the thinking which makes sense in the moment. In that way it is unavoidable.

I didn’t realize this was a talk rather than a meditation, but it was very insightful. I wonder if just bringing awareness to the source of our emotions would also help in the case of several years of repressed anger due to childhood trauma.

Thank you for validating my anger and inspiring my curiosity.

Such excellent explanation of our anger
Probably the best I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much

This is an excellent reminder as I learn to navigate my relationship with a loved one who is a narcissist with PTSD. I have so much anger that only very occasionally comes out - in response to their daily derisions and verbal abuse. Thank you for this!

Lovely talk, thank you. I’m always been so aware not to have a sharp anger like my mom can have because it’s so upsetting if it comes out in the physical body & world.
