That is a dangerous place because there is numbness. Whereas anger, if understood and expressed in a healthy way, is a very useful emotion. Anger is often the gateway to reaching our deeper hurts and it’s the thing that unleashes our passion. Repressed anger takes up a lot of energy. It is a fiery emotion that just sits inside of us. Passion is fire too. If we have a lot of anger that we haven’t processed, it can be a block to our creativity and passion.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of creative and artistic people have trouble accessing their anger. It ends up manifesting as anxiety. When we have the creative archetype, there is also gentleness. We want to be the peacekeeper and avoid conflict.

However, when we don’t access our anger and our rage, it can hold our passion back.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is often anger and resentment that keep us from getting to the true energy of forgiveness.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Join us for our LIVE Inner Child Workshop on October 8–10th.
