Why does anger feel so overwhelming and how do you actually process it in a healthy way?

In this replay of one of the most popular episodes from the podcast (originally Episode #24), Rae dives into the truth about anger—what it really means, why it matters, and how to process anger somatically instead of suppressing it.

If you’ve ever been told that anger is “too much,” “wrong,” or something to avoid, this episode will completely shift your perspective.

From a nervous system and somatic healing lens, anger is not something to fear—it’s a powerful signal that something within you needs attention, boundaries, or protection. 

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

•  What anger actually is (and why it’s not a “bad” emotion) 
•  How anger connects to trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) 
•  The cycle of anger: irritability → anger → rage 
•  How anger reveals boundary violations and unmet needs
•  Why suppressing anger leads to burnout, people-pleasing, and disconnection 
•  How to safely process anger in the body (somatic practices)

✨ You’ll also learn powerful, practical tools to process anger in real time.

🌿 This episode is for you if:

•  You struggle with people-pleasing or suppressing emotions
•  You feel guilty or uncomfortable expressing anger 
•  Your anger builds up and comes out all at once 
•  You want to feel more emotionally regulated, empowered, and boundaried

 Anger isn’t something to fix—it’s something to listen to. When you learn to work with it (instead of against it), it becomes a tool for healing, clarity, and self-trust.

💫 This episode is a re-release of one of the most streamed episodes—bringing back one of the most impactful conversations for deeper healing.
