Unless you learn to recognize and work with your anger, you'll continue to be sideways with it and things will never improve. Pressure will build inside you until somewhere down the road, there will be an explosion of anger or rage, given the huge cost of stuffing your feelings, taking the risk to share your anger when you feel it can be the healthiest thing you can do for both yourself and your relationships, for both you and the young people in life.
Feeling overwhelmed by anger, especially in times of crisis, is something many of us can relate to. In this episode of Recovery Road, host William Moyers dives into the often-misunderstood emotion of anger with insights from Earl Hipp's book, Feed Your Head. Originally written for young people, Hipp's book offers valuable lessons on how to handle anger healthily, particularly during anxiety-filled periods like the coronavirus pandemic.
Moyers and Hipp explore the fine line between anger and rage, shedding light on the dangers of bottling up emotions and the fallout of indirect anger expression. They also discuss how properly managing anger can actually strengthen your relationships and improve your overall well-being. By learning to express anger constructively, you can avoid the metaphorical volcano that erupts when emotions are suppressed for too long.
If you're struggling with anger or just want to understand it better, this episode offers practical advice and emotional support. Tune in to discover how you can turn your anger into a positive force for change in your life.
