When's the last time you let yourself feel truly angry?

Not the explosion kind. Not the leaking-out-as-resentment kind. But clean, clear, protective anger — the kind that says "no, this isn't okay" and means it.

For many of us — especially women, especially people-pleasers, especially anyone raised to "keep the peace" — anger has become a forbidden emotion. We've learned to swallow it, apologize for it, turn it inward against ourselves.

But here's the truth: anger isn't your enemy. It's the protector of your boundaries, your values, your sense of self. And when we lose access to it, we often lose the ability to say no — to know what we actually want — to feel fully alive.

In this episode, somatic therapist Abi Beri explores why we learned to fear our fire, what happens when anger gets suppressed (hint: it doesn't go away), and how to reclaim healthy anger through somatic awareness. Includes a journey to help you meet your protective fire safely.

In this episode:

• The difference between reactive and healthy anger

• How childhood and culture taught us to suppress our fire

• The fawn response and people-pleasing as anger turned inward

• What anger feels like in the body

• Somatic techniques for reclaiming healthy anger

• A guided journey to befriend your fire
