Ep 61: Embracing Anger: Empowering Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse


Listen Later

“How can I let go of my anger?”  I am asked this question all the time by survivors of domestic violence and narcissistic abuse.  And my answer…”Do you need to let go of your anger?”

Your anger is WARRANTED!

A recent situation led to an amazing conversation about anger in The Rising Beyond Community and I wanted to share that with you all in this episode.  

Anger isn’t good or bad…it just is.

So many of my clients are really uncomfortable with anger for good reason.  They experienced extreme consequences when they showed any anger or displeasure in their abusive relationship.  The anger shown by their partner was scary.  And most women have been conditioned since they were young girls that “anger is not becoming of a lady.”  And so we push it down.  But anger has some benefits to us as well.

So, if you have a situation where you are angry, ask yourself these questions:

  • Where is this anger coming from?
  • Is this anger creating a catalyst for action?
  • Is this anger causing me to go into a freeze state?
  • What can I control/What can I not control?
  • What support do I need?

Learn the different ways to move out of a freeze state so that you can use anger for action and how to start to use anger in a way that will move you forward.
