Anger is a complicated emotion. We all experience it, but how we learn to express (or repress) it is tied to a whole range of factors, like our temperament, upbringing, culture, even our gender. The Netflix show, Beef, explores what happens when we can’t seem to find a healthy way to express or resolve our negative emotions. And while it is also a show about identity, relationships, expectations, racism, thwarted dreams, and despair, at its heart, Beef is a show about anger. In this episode of When Therapists Watch TV, Matt Reed, MA, and BJ McElrath, LPCC, join host Dr. Terri Bly to tackle this intense and even scary emotion that most of us don’t quite know what to do with, and what it is about life that can make us so darn angry.
