Your anger is a result of unresolved wounds

Have you ever found yourself disproportionately angry in certain situations? The kind that after the event you think: “Wow, where did that come from?”

Sudden bursts of disproportionate anger usually come from unresolved pain. Those wounds that were not processed. Suppressed.

How to solve it?

There is no need to know exactly what caused this pain and where it originated. Although, if you need to know, an insight will come up.

The first step to change this is to be aware of these disproportionate moments of anger.
Taking responsibility for them and wanting to change this unhelpful pattern.

Then, when everything calms down:

🌿 Take a quiet moment and allow yourself to find a place in your body that feels comfortable or neutral (it could be any bodily part, no matter how small).

🌿 Then bring to mind the scene that triggered you.

🌿 Where in the body you notice an activation?

🌿 There is no need to rationalise it and there is no need to judge it either. Create a space to feel. Pendulating between the place of comfort and the place of discomfort, that shows up when you bring to mind the situation that angered you.

🌿 You can also choose to hold the awareness in both parts (comfortable and uncomfortable) of the body at the same time.

Turn this to a practice every time you notice disproportionated emotional reaction. Gradually these wounds that you have suppressed, over time, will rise to the surface and will be integrated by your increased capacity to feel and hold space for these strong triggers.

Try it. You will be surprised.
