Let's talk about Anger
Anger gets a bad reputation.
Most people try to suppress it, fix it, or apologize for it.We simply do not know how to manage it.
Psychology knows this: when we don’t let ourselves feel anger, the nervous system stores it anyway — and it comes back as body symptoms, anxiety, panic, burnout, numbness, or emotional shutdown.
But the thing is that almost in all cases, anger isn’t the final emotion — it’s a cover.
Underneath it you’ll often find exhaustion, helplessness, overwhelm, frustration, or the feeling of “I can’t hold this anymore.” Sometimes it’s something incredibly personal to your situation.
If you only work with the anger, you miss the signal underneath — and the result won’t last.
Anger is also creative. I mean — redirected anger is creative.
It’s fuel. It's movement.
If it’s not turned inward (self-attack) or outward (destruction), it can build things.
Sometimes the best moment to start a project or open a blank page is when you’re angry and need a healthy outlet for the emotion.
When the body is angry it goes into sympathetic activation (fight).
Let the body finish the pattern without hurting anyone.
Here's Somatic Practice for you — Squat + Exhale + Question:
Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
Exhale as you slowly squat down.
Pause for two breaths.
Rise on an inhale.
5–10 rounds.
While doing this ask your body: What am I actually angry at? If anger wasn't available, what would I feel then? What is anger protecting right now?
This moves anger out of the jaw and into the legs, where it can metabolize.
When you find the answers - just observe how it makes you feel.
Also you can write down answers in your journal. I love writing practices. They are truly one of the most powerful ones.
• What is anger protecting right now?
• If anger wasn’t available, what would I feel?
• Where do I feel powerless or depleted?
Remember that the real information is rarely in the anger itself.
