Sacred Rage as a Catalyst with Erika Tourell (#065)
What if the rage you've spent your whole life trying to suppress is actually one of your greatest gifts? In this extraordinary conversation, somatic trauma therapist and tantra practitioner Erika Tourell takes us deep into the territory most of us have been taught to fear — our anger, our grief, and the raw, electric charge of our own life force. This isn't a conversation about becoming a calmer, more managed version of yourself. It's an invitation to reclaim the fire.
Erika brings nearly 40 years of healing work to this conversation — from holistic bodywork at 19, through four years across India, Thailand, Bali and beyond, to her own reckoning with menopause, developmental trauma, and the shattering realisation that healing isn't just personal. It's political. She speaks with rare honesty about her own journey through depression, functional freeze, a Kundalini-like menopause, and how it led her to understand that the missing piece of her own healing — and perhaps ours — was the somatic piece: the body's wisdom, the nervous system's intelligence, and the power of community.
The heart of this episode is sacred rage — what it is, why we've been so thoroughly taught to deny it, and what becomes possible when we stop. Erika unpacks the link between suppressed anger and chronic illness, between our rage and our creativity, between our deepest fury and our most sacred calling. She offers real practices for moving the charge through the body — breath, movement, voice — and makes the case that learning to channel this energy is not just healing work, it's world-changing work.
This episode ends with a vision that will stay with you: that each of us, in healing our own nervous system and stepping into our gifts, is participating in what Joanna Macy calls "the great turning." The time is now. The time is yesterday.
