Episode 38: First step to Controlling Anger.
Every mother knows the deep impact her words can leave on her child’s heart. A single phrase spoken in anger — “You make my life so difficult” or “You’re the most terrible child” — can echo for years, carving doubt and pain into a child’s sense of self. And the truth is, no mother wants to pass on shame, trauma, or harshness to her children. We want to nurture them, raise them with love, and model patience and compassion. But in the heat of the moment, anger can feel uncontrollable.
So where do we even begin? What’s the very first step to breaking this cycle and showing up with the calm, gentle presence we long to embody?
In this episode, I share a simple but powerful reminder: every emotion first shows up in your body. Stress, anger, even joy — they all leave physical traces, whether it’s tense shoulders, clenched jaws, shallow breathing, or that racing heartbeat you know so well. Learning to listen to these whispers of your body before they turn into screams of exhaustion, burnout, or regret is the doorway to emotional regulation.
We’ll explore:
- Why ignoring your body’s signals leads to emotional outbursts.
- Practical ways to ground yourself in the moment — from releasing your jaw to dropping your shoulders.
- How stress doesn’t just “live in your head” but is carried in your body.
- The spiritual truth that your body is an amanah (trust) from Allah, and caring for it is part of your responsibility.
- How regulating yourself is the foundation for co-regulating with your children, because children cannot regulate on their own without you.
This is not about perfection. It’s about starting small, with self-awareness, and building the tools to respond with patience rather than react in anger. Because when you learn to honor your body and regulate your emotions, you don’t just change your own experience—you transform the emotional world your children grow up in.
