Heal In 10: How to Use Anger to HEAL Instead of HARM w/ Dr. Gabor Maté

11 minutes

Anger isn’t the problem—how you handle it is. In today’s Heal In 10, we’re bringing back a powerful segment of our episode with Dr. Gabor Maté. He breaks down why repressing anger is one of the biggest threats to your health, and explains how unprocessed emotions can contribute to autoimmune diseases, gut disorders, and even depression (PLUS, why learning to express anger properly is key to healing).

Dr. Maté shares the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger, why boundaries are built into us from birth, and how turning against your emotions can turn your body against itself. If you’ve ever been told to “just let it go” but felt like ignoring your feelings made things worse, this clip is a must-listen.

HEALERS AND HEAL-LINERS:

Repressed anger doesn’t disappear—it turns against you: Suppressing emotions for too long can manifest as autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, and gut issues.

Healthy anger is a boundary, not an outburst: Expressing anger in the moment—without rage or repression—prevents resentment and emotional buildup.

Depression is often suppressed anger: Pushing down anger instead of acknowledging it can lead to emotional numbness, exhaustion, and long-term mental health struggles.
