•
Episode 133
The episode that no one asked for but I recorded anyway. What you'll hear:
- If you want to be on the waitlist for the fall cycle of The Audacity Project, you can do that here! Exact dates TBD. 1:30
- Anger is an expensive emotion, but no we can't just not experience it. 3:45
- The NPR article I reference is here: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/03/12/1236973762/anger-management-types-purpose-cause
- defining the two kinds of anger: core and defensive 4:38
- "I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief" 6:30
- Learn from my fails: what happened after I suppressed my anger for 19 years 9:20
- Why suppressing anger is a side effect of perfectionism 10:15
- How can you tell the difference between kindness or people pleasing/codependency/perfectionist? The answer is resentment. 13:00
- The Karpman's Triangle 14:00
- Actionable advice! 16:30
- Name and claim your emotions
- Let people have their own experiences/feelings/consequences
- Fantasy role-play with your anger. What does your anger want you to do? What does it want you to say? Fantasize your pants off about it. It's ok if fantasies are harmful when they stay in your brain and help your brain achieve a sense of satisfaction and validation.
- Take any other actual, unharmful action necessary to care for yourself.
Please don't suffer in silence.
Don't go back to sleep.
