Befriending Anger To Reclaim Boundaries And Voice

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


What if anger isn't the problem at all, but the protector standing guard over your boundaries, values, and deepest tenderness?


In Episode 2 of the Emotional Sobriety series, we dismantle the myth of the "anger problem" and reveal the truth: anger isn't dangerous, untrained behavior and unprocessed pain are. When you learn to separate feeling from reaction, you discover a practical path from emotional hijack to clarity.


What You'll Learn:

• Why anger is a bodyguard, not a villain and what it's actually protecting
• How trauma layers turn present conflicts into past battles
• The hidden cost of the peacekeeper persona: exhaustion, resentment, and lost aliveness
• Why grief and anger are inseparable (and how rage clears denial)
• The 4-step practice to communicate through anger instead of being hijacked by it

Real Stories, Real Tools: A parenting example shows how old wounds distort present choices and how to protect connection while honouring boundaries. A client story reveals what happens when you bury anger for decades, and how giving it a voice reawakens joy, desire, and aliveness.


Guided Practice Included: Join the mindful moment at 19:18 to ask your anger: "What are you protecting?" and begin befriending your most powerful ally.


If you're ready to stop fearing your own heat and start using it as a compass, this episode offers grounded somatic tools and compassionate guidance.
