The culture tells you that anger is bad, that it spikes your blood and you should be calm and grateful all the time.
But anger is what tells you:
– when a boundary has been crossed,
– when something’s not right,
– and when your boss is bullshitting you.
Anger is part of what has fueled:
– the Civil Rights Movement
– the feminist movements
– the black lives matter movement
– me too
If you didn’t feel anger in your body you would look at injustice and feel calm and accepting and you wouldn’t be motivated to stand up against it.
Anger is your magic super power that motivates you to set boundaries and make change.
Hurray anger!!

PS The flip side is when you suppress your anger, it can lead to mental and physical health issues. So it’s time to beat the shit out of some inanimate objects to process your anger through your body and then take action on the message from the anger.
This is the exact work I do with my clients. Here’s a video that gives you a sense of how it works:
Ann Bradney, who created Radical Aliveness, attended the same school I did and then changed it to create Radical Aliveness. This is the best video representation of Core Energetics (the somatic modality I’m trained in) I’ve seen.
If you feel drawn to exploring this, either in person in Toronto or on Zoom, let’s hop on a free consultation to feel into whether we’re a fit!
Let’s chat!
