Dealing with Anger and Emotional Constipation — Alyson and Tripp Lanier
If you’re angry, is it better to bottle it up or lash out in retaliation?
Do you get stuck in a loop thinking of things you should say to that jerk who pissed you off?
And how is emotional constipation draining our aliveness and motivation?
In this conversation, Alyson and I discuss the problems that arise with anger. For many, we feel stuck — if we say something with anger it might make the situation worse. But if we bottle it up, we become a toxic balloon that could burst at any moment. So today we explore what really drives our anger in hopes that we can find a more productive way to deal with it.
In this conversation:
* Dealing with emotional constipation
* What’s really causing our anger
* Feeling stuck because we don’t know what to do with anger
* That danger of bottling up our emotions
* Metal and aggressive music
Plus:
* Can anger be expressed in a healthy way?
* The difference between anger and aggression
* Rumination
* Learning to see our assumptions
* Why it’s not okay for your partner to be mean just because she’s a woman
