Do you ever get irritated at little things?

Notice yourself feeling annoyed, peeved, pissed off, or snappy for no big reason?

You may be experiencing the effects of suppressed anger!

 

Women in our culture are often denigrated or dismissed when they express, (heaven forbid) any form of anger! Many of us were taught that anger is evil, unproductive, disruptive, unattractive, bitchy, and we are a bad person for feeling it, much less expressing it!

 

When we suppress or deny anger we can suffer:

• Distortion in our relationship to power,
• Stunted sovereignty and sense of self,
• Inability to create and hold healthy boundaries,
• Emotional exhaustion and burnout,
• And studies show that repressing anger has a negative impact on your immune system!

 

However, anger is a natural human emotion with an important purpose. It tells us about what is not okay, what boundaries are important and needed, and is a potent source of life force!
