Anger is such an interesting concept. Personally anger has been a weakness- suppressed on every level.
I’ve definitely found that I have a cPTSD response to anger where it is easier to ignore the triggers always thinking “it could be worse, others have it worse, I’ve had it worse.”
Recently I read Byron Katie’s Loving what it. It challenged me to look at the places where I feel anger and do the turn arounds. “I’m angry at myself for abandoning me.” I’m angry at myself for letting bad things happen to me.”
It’s pretty powerful to take responsibility for the feelings and look deeper into myself.
I want my kids to use anger as a spotlight to see things they get fired up about without the reactivity of modern anger… this is the goal.
