In this episode, we will have a conversation about anger. We will analyse the difference between regulated and dysregulated anger, its long-term effects, and what happens within us when we feel angry. We will also look at anger through the Internal Family System lens to understand why it scratches the scab of our worthiness wounds.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- How dysregulated anger is a sympathetic trauma response
- Why our protective parts choose anger to deal with some issues
- Can being stuck in anger for a long time be a natural part of a healing process?
- The questions we must pose to our angry, protective parts
If we approach our angry, protective parts with curiosity, looking beyond the anger and trying to understand what those parts are trying to distract us from, we will look at what triggered us in a different way. We will realise that our system is trying to soothe the pain from our wounded, younger part.
