45: Solo Jam: My Six Step Process for Holding Space For + Releasing Your Anger

For as long as I can remember, I have been hard on myself for being HUMAN. These feelings have been amplified since becoming a mother. When I feel anger, oftentimes that anger is followed by guilt afterward if I respond in a way that doesn't feel good to me.

From an early age, we are taught and conditioned to believe that there are good emotions and bad emotions. As children, we are often taught to suppress the "bad emotions."
But what happens over time when we feel anger?
What do we do with that emotion?

The truth is that anger is no different from any other emotion. It is an indicator of care and attention. Instead of feeling guilty when you feel angry, when you have a normal human reaction to life, try this six-step process to hold space for and then work through and release the anger.

This six-step process is discussed in detail in this episode:
Step 1: Acceptance
Step 2: Name it
Step 3: Give yourself the care and love you need
Step 4: Ask yourself "What is my anger trying to tell me?"
Step 5: Give yourself grace
Step 6: Forgive yourself and begin anew
