Episode Overview
- Anger is a signal that something in your environment needs to change.
- Differentiate between anger and aggression; aggression is the behaviour.
- Recognise the role of societal norms and gender conditioning in how we process anger.
- Set boundaries to protect yourself and align with your values.
- Use anger as a catalyst for positive change rather than suppressing it.
Yeah, it's telling you that you're not safe. It's telling you that your values are being violated. It's telling you that you can't keep living like this.
Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of anger in active addiction. Matt and Paige Robinson, hosts of Till The Wheels Fall Off, kick off a three-part series on anger with a focus on understanding what your anger is trying to tell you. Often perceived as a negative emotion, anger is explored as a mobilising force, signalling that something in your environment needs to change.
The episode offers insights into the difference between anger and aggression, emphasising that anger isn't inherently bad but a revolutionary emotion pushing for action. Paige and Matt share personal anecdotes on how they've processed anger differently, shedding light on gender conditioning and societal norms that often suppress this powerful emotion. With humour and honesty, they discuss how anger has been a catalyst for change in their own lives and relationships.
Key takeaways include recognising anger as a signal rather than a problem, setting boundaries, and understanding the deeper layers beneath anger like grief and unmet needs. This episode is not just for those in active addiction but for anyone feeling stuck in a relationship or situation where their values are being violated. If you're grappling with anger and looking for ways to channel it constructively, this episode is a must-listen. How do you handle your anger?
