TIME TO GET ANGRY:

~

Anger can be such a potent, frightening emotion. It can also be a
feeling that guides us to important decisions, sometimes decisions
difficult to make.

We deny our anger for a variety of reasons. We don't give ourselves
permission to allow it to come into our awareness – at first.
Understand that it does not go away; it sits in layers under the
surface, waiting for us to become ready, safe, and strong enough to
deal with it.

What we may do instead of facing our anger and what it is telling us
about self-care, is feel hurt, victimized, trapped, guilty, and
uncertain about how to take care of ourselves. We may withdraw,
deny, make excuses, and hide our heads in the sand – for a while.

We may repeatedly forgive the other person for behavior that hurts
us. We may be afraid that someone will go away if we deal with our
anger toward him or her. We may be afraid we will need to go away,
if we deal with our anger.

We may simply be afraid of our anger and the potency of it. We may
not know we have a right, even a responsibility – to ourselves – to
allow ourselves to feel and learn from our anger.
