🧘‍♂️ Episode Summary:

Anger. It hits hard. Sometimes it’s in your face. Other times, it’s in your inbox. Either way, your body reacts like you’re in danger — heart racing, chest tight, maybe even shame flooding in.

In this episode of Stillness in the Storms, I answer a heartfelt question from listener Toby Ross:

“How do you deal with conflict when it feels unbearable?”

We dive into why anger — whether it’s coming at you or rising inside you — feels so overwhelming. From a Zen perspective to real-life stories, this episode is about understanding anger, disarming it, and staying present without abandoning yourself.

This one is personal, practical, and rooted in compassion — for others, and for yourself.

🧩 What You’ll Hear:

• Why your nervous system reacts to anger like a threat
• How our ancient survival wiring still runs the show
• The Zen view of anger as a mirror (not an enemy)
• Stories about conflict, shouting, and inner shame
• A powerful 30-second grounding practice
• Why “toughness” isn’t strength — and stillness isn’t silence
