Transforming Anger Into A Healthy & Powerful Ally

Anger doesn't have a good reputation and it's rare to hear it spoken of as a natural and healthy emotion. If expressed in the right way, it not only doesn't have to hurt anyone, but it can also be a great source of energy and a valuable asset in our everyday lives. In this episode, I talk about how we are used to managing anger and how we can transform it so that it becomes a precious ally.

Thank you for this. I’ve realised that I have a lot of suppressed anger and rage from years of abandonment, rejection and mistreatment in childhood and beyond. As an internaliser and the eldest daughter, I took on the caretaking of others and anger was rarely expressed. I have some skills in managing emotions (eg asking them directly what message they have for me) but I’m really interested in how to transform the power of anger into creative expression. I write poetry and put my anger/rage/injustice into them sometimes. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this 🙏

If IT had a pin feature on a favourite list this talk would be there for me!!! Anger has always been a taboo emotion for me and until even now, sadly at 69, I have not had a useful method for engaging it. As a child I grew up with constant violent anger around me but was prohibited from expressing it myself. You can imagine the outcomes that would befall my life long challenges with no access to this sort of information. Excellent, excellent! I'm listening to this again tomorrow.

I struggled with anger all my life and it wasn't until a few years ago that I realized some of it was definitely triggered by hormones. I still need to stop before I react. I wish I was better at handling that reaction. This app has helped me a lot with additional resources to solve and work through my anger. Thank you for making me feel like I am not the only one to have these issues.

Thank you this was very insightful and gave me new tools that I’m going to try out today with this new awareness

Amazing talk! Very good anger situation with the boss!
