Anger is actually a very important emotion for us to pay attention to. Our anger might be a message that we are being hurt, that our rights are being violated, that our needs or wants are not being adequately met, or simply that something is not right.
Anger is often a taboo subject, especially for women. But when addiction is part of your family, it's a very real and honest emotion that needs addressing. In this episode of 'Love Over Addiction', host Michelle Anderson dives into the complexities of anger when loving someone with addiction. She emphasizes that anger is a signal that something is wrong—whether it's because your needs aren't being met or your boundaries are being crossed.
Instead of shying away from this powerful emotion, Michelle encourages listeners to see it as a tool for self-preservation. Michelle shares five practical tips to help manage these natural feelings of anger. From taking a moment to check yourself before reacting, to avoiding discussions about your feelings when your loved one is numbing theirs, she provides actionable advice that can make a significant difference.
She also stresses the importance of clearly expressing how you feel and why you feel that way, helping you navigate this emotional roller coaster more effectively. This episode offers valuable insights into the role of anger in relationships affected by addiction. It's not just about coping; it's about understanding and managing your emotions in a healthy way. If you're struggling with anger and need some guidance, this episode is a must-listen.
