EP240 Paying the Price Unraveling the Cost of Disowned Anger

Welcome to episode 240 where we explore the true costs of not owning a very important emotion.  

In this episode, we discuss the intricate relationship between disowned anger, negative self-image, and the belief in one's powerlessness. Expanding from the psychological dynamics within unhealthy family setups to the impact on personal well-being, we explored how suppressed anger can lead to a distorted self-concept, fostering feelings of passivity and powerlessness. Additionally, we discuss the importance of acknowledging anger in the grieving process, emphasizing that skipping this essential phase may hinder true self-honor and impede the complete healing journey.
