How Suppressed Anger Affects Our Relationships

Pre-sign up for my upcoming offering SOVEREIGN WOMAN here: https://www.selftalkbodysoul.com/sove...

In this video (slightly chaotic one at that) I open up the first discussion in a series of videos I am planning to record on relationships. This one is on the role of trauma and anger in relationships. The next potential topics will be learning healthy conflict and how to understand your needs and talk about them.

This is a HOT topic for me as someone who has not had a single example of healthy relationships since I was a new-born. Relationships were riddled with painful conflict, rupture without any repair, lack of vulnerability or effective communication skills. I experienced a lot of relationship and attachment trauma such as neglect, separation and abuse.

That is, until I decided to rewrite my future and get on a path of inner work, somatic trauma therapy, and conscious relationships.

I am NOT an expert in relationships. I am someone who has lived through a lot of pain brought on my life from relationships, and instead of allowing it to spill over onto people around me and my future children, continuing the cycle of suffering, I decided to actively change the course of my destiny, predetermined by my cultural upbringing, generational and developmental trauma and conditioning. So I mostly speak from personal, lived, embodied experience (and from experience as a somatic practitioner).

In the video I talk about how early childhood experiences of our boundaries being disrespected and broken, and the suppression of our anger, affect our adult relationships, and the importance of learning to FEEL anger to have healthy relationships. At the end I share an example of how developing a relationship with anger has translated in a change in my relationship with my mum (clue: I can now set boundaries with her).

Please write any insights, questions, suggestions or anything else in the comment section below or if you'd like to reach me personally go on my website to arrange a free connection call or send a DM on Instagram.

Take good care,

Marija
