I now understand that i learnt that anger was bad and also experienced it turning into rage in some moments when I used to supress it or not acknowledge it.
“The irony is that when we can practice allowing the anger to be there, there's way less opportunity for rage because we’re able to let the anger move through us.”
It’s staggering how many of us were taught as children that anger is wrong, anger is bad (myself included).
When a child feels something overwhelming like anger, judgment is the last thing they need.

Thanks for writing this. ❤️
