Tina and Dennis have a quick catch-up and chat about how they are trying to slow down a bit, particularly after the holiday season and counteract that "new year, new you" bollocks.
The topic of the day is Anger. What is this emotion really and what does it want? They recognise how tricky it is for all of us, particukarly if we are in Northern Europe, where Anger is categorised or badmouthed depending on gender and in the context of different cultures.
They talk about how we are afraid of anger and why, and what this emotion arises for. They talk about the power of anger and how it can get distorted or deformed and what that looks like. It also turns out that there aren't just 50 shades of grey, but 50 shades of anger too. They look at how incomplete or suppressed anger can show up and how much energy is required to keep that shit down!
They discuss how anger and wanting space are related, and boundaries and the inner message of anger.
Dennis and Tina then get down to the nitty gritty and reframe what anger is in the nervous system, how childhood and socialisation, as well as lack of agency can form and shape anger in us. They go on to share how anger can be related to, processed and what to DO with it. This can differ in different people and communities - and how people with chronic illness can work with feelings of anger without getting depleted or feeling like there is nowhere or no-one for it to land (on). How making choices and finding agency can be the perfect completion for anger - who knew!
Dennis informs us about a wonderful symbol of the energy of anger from Japan called Fudo Myoo (not to be mistaken as a "puppet") and how it could be a useful image for grounded and empowered anger. They also give us some great somatic and other embodied ways of feeling and processing anger, and being aware of not bypassing it with rationality or positivity. They help us stay in our bodies with anger, and not feeling "out of control" or letting rage take over.
They finish as always with the listener question which may help us all, giving different options for when anger comes up in relationship to another, without causing relational damage.
