Anger is essential for setting boundaries.
Managing anger is no walk in the park, especially when sobriety adds an extra layer of complexity. In this episode of 'Sober on Purpose', Jerry and Tanya tackle the topic of anger management with their usual blend of humour and wisdom. They explore the concept of 'healthy anger' and why it's crucial to express emotions constructively rather than bottling them up or erupting like a volcano.
Tanya, with her personal anecdotes, sheds light on how anger can be both a signal and a healing force. She shares the acronym HALT - Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired - as a handy tool to identify underlying causes of anger and offers insights into setting boundaries. The discussion dives into how suppressed anger can lead to explosive outbursts, affecting relationships and personal well-being.
Drawing from experts like Gabor Mate, Tanya explains how trauma can lock anger in the body, leading to unhealthy expressions. She also introduces RAIN - Recognise, Allow, Investigate, Nurture - as a method to process anger healthily. The episode is peppered with relatable stories, like Tanya's own family dynamics where she identifies as an 'eruptor' amidst a bunch of 'suppressors'. Jerry and Tanya’s conversation is not just about understanding anger but learning how to make it work for you.
Their warm and engaging style makes this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating sobriety or supporting loved ones through addiction recovery. So, if you're curious about turning anger into an ally, this episode might just be the ticket.
