Based in survival and often to maintain attachment, many people learn to repress their own anger. I’ve noticed that overtime society has reinforced anger’s bad reputation by praising compliance, politeness, and self-control while pathologizing anger.
When anger is denied a conscious, healthy expression, it doesn’t disappear. It goes underground, shaping our stress responses, our relationships, and even our health.
The work is not to act out in anger, nor to silence it, but to listen to what it has been holding, and to respond with awareness and compassion.
