🌀Repressed anger is one of the root causes of physical illness. 🌀
We were not taught to feel our anger. We were taught to manage it, suppress it, apologize for it, spiritually bypass it with gratitude and perspective, or perform our way around it with a smile.
Anger does not dissolve when you swallow it. It has to go somewhere.
Chronic suppression keeps the nervous system in a sustained state of activation. The immune system, the gut, the endocrine system, all of them take the hit of the emotion that was never allowed to move through and out. Anger, felt safely and expressed physically, is one of the fastest ways to discharge the chronic stress activation keeping you sick and stuck.
