98: How Anger & Disgust Are Actually Good for You [Why Women Go To Therapy Series]


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of the Zero Disturbance Podcast, we explore why so many women come to therapy feeling confused, responsible for others, and disconnected from their inner guidance system. The focus? Two of the most misunderstood emotions in healing work: anger and disgust. Drawing from experience in EMDR and Brainspotting, we discuss how women are socialized to suppress anger and collapse into sadness—ultimately cutting themselves off from their internal safety systems. But when anger is reframed as action energy, and disgust as the clarity to distance from harm, everything changes. This is especially true when leaving narcissistic, abusive relationships.

This episode covers:
  • Why anger is essential for trauma recovery and boundary setting
  • How disgust helps women see unsafe, narcissistic people and systems clearly
  • What it means to be Self-led and own your positive core beliefs
  • The impact of patriarchal programming on emotional expression
  • How therapists can help women reclaim emotional safety and power
  • Whether you're a therapist, survivor, or someone doing deep inner work, this episode will challenge old narratives and offer a transformative framework for healing.
