Side Chat: The anger infomercial

<p>If you’d told me (Kristen) ten years ago that I’d be doing in infomercial FOR anger — as in, fully in support of and happily endorsing the expression of anger — I would’ve said you clearly have the wrong person.</p> <p>You see, as a lifelong people pleaser with a huge aversion to conflict of all kind, I prided myself on rarely (if ever) getting angry. I’m embarrassed to admit I even got on my high horse about it, and I’d judge people who would <em>(gasp)</em> express their anger outwardly. <em>Clearly</em> they were just less evolved than me.</p> <p>Yikes. How very wrong I was. I <em>did</em> feel anger (because I am, you know, <em>human</em>), but because I was so uncomfortable expressing it, it would leak out in gross, unhealthy ways (in my case, obnoxious passive aggressiveness).</p> <p>So over the years, I’ve changed my tune. I still don’t love anger — mine, or anyone else’s — but I clearly see its value and have learned healthy ways to express it.</p> <p>In this month’s brand-new Side Chat, we’re making a case for why it’s OK (necessary, even!) to feel angry, along with healthy ways to let it out, complete with demonstrations! We got into…</p> <ul> <li>Why most of us (especially people pleasers) are so uncomfortable with anger.</li> <li>What anger is <em>really</em> about, and the important messages it can give us.</li> <li>Specific ways you can express your anger — and we don’t stop at explanations … we show you how! We LITERALLY screamed and ranted and stomped our feet.</li> <li>Why it’s important to get comfortable with your own anger, before you express it to others.</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://clarityonfire.com/anger-infomercial" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Leave a comment</a> after you’ve listened to share your favorite method for releasing anger.
