Dear Anger, Your Longing Matters,Too

Anger has incredible healing power and it wants to lead us back to something sacred within. 

We can learn how to be with the wild edges and unknown force of our own anger, even when it feels scary, we can learn how to titrate our experience.

Rage and anger are different. Rage is anger that has gone unseen and untended to. Learning how to BE WITH our anger when it arrives can be a profound healing story and can be a preventative measure that brings about greater intimacy, love, and connection with our whole selves.

Messages about anger and the real wisdom of its essence.

Anger wants expression—it wants to move through us.

The body has a world of intelligence about this. Being mad is a fierce storm that when given permission to pass through, a clear realization and fresh beginning becomes available. 

After working with children and adults over the years as a psychotherapist and mindfulness instructor, I’ve gathered a few helpful tools for how to move and express the energy of our anger. I share a few practical ways to be with anger when it visits.

All of our feelings want us. They all have a sacred message and it’s up to us to be with, care for, and discern what is needed in the moment.

This helps us learn how to trust ourselves with our biggest feelings and challenges and create a safe and loving environment within us and around us in which we can truly and fully express ourselves.
