Fearing and Befriending Anger
This episode is all about anger! How many of us come to fear, and then disown, this core emotion. And the ways we adapt to our uneasy relationship with anger, including avoiding conflict, people-pleasing, and passive-aggressiveness.
Janice talks about her own experiences repressing her anger for many years, and why she had come to see anger as a threatening emotion that had to be sent to the corner of her internal home.
She shares about the therapy work (Internal Family Systems Therapy) she did to befriend her anger, and how it helped her to better clarify her needs and set boundaries.
She also discusses the importance of looking past the individual/family situation to understand how our broader cultural, social and political environment influences how comfortable we feel with our anger and that of others.
