Dave Kashen reframes anger as boundary energy tied to love, not destruction. He contrasts constructive anger that protects your needs with reactive anger that harms others, and shares a recent breakthrough in sensing and asserting his own boundaries.
my kid's about to walk into, you know, a street and doesn't see a car coming, I'm not like, oh honey, oh honey, maybe you want to, you know, I'm like, stop. Right. So, and a lot of, there's a, you know, Jesse mentioned anger. There's a lot of, I think, misunderstanding around anger because most people's experience of anger is that like reactive, violent anger. But anger, I think all emotions, I think of it as like, or love through a prism. Anger is part of love, right? Anger is boundary energy. And I think it's one of the most misunderstood of the emotions. And I have found even recently I had a big breakthrough around my ability to feel anger, and I'm able to literally sense more quickly when my wants or needs are not being met and stand for them.
