Anger gets stuck in two ways: repressed into passive aggression or expressed as aggression. The speaker explains how anger needs to move through your body, and why feeling safe enough to let it happen matters.

Chapters

When people are aggressive or using anger to manipulate a situation or have their own way, we kind of see that anger as being a bad thing. Anger, when it's kinked, can really hurt people. What are the sensations that are here? How can I allow anger to kind of move through me and be expressed and not get kinked? If it gets kinked one way, it gets repressed and I'm not angry. It just kind of turns into this low level passive aggression. And when it gets kinked the other way, it's aggressive. It's like anger at someone. And both are protection mechanisms that we've learned when we were growing up to avoid feeling whatever that emotion is. It really does come down to feeling safe in our bodies and having permission from ourselves and other people that it's okay to feel.
