Show notes

Have you ever felt angry about something that happened months or even years ago, then immediately felt guilty for not being over it? Women are often taught to be patient, forgiving and understanding. But what happens when we're so busy extending compassion to everyone else that we forget to extend it to ourselves? This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango unpacks our complicated relationship with anger, why women are often made to feel ashamed of it, and how anger can sometimes reveal hurt, unmet needs, crossed boundaries and imbalances in our relationships. From understanding the difference between anger and resentment to recognising why painful memories can still trigger waves of anger long after an experience, Adelle explores how we can listen to our emotions without allowing them to control our decisions. She also shares 5 practical ways to develop a healthier relationship with anger, including how to identify what's really hurting you, recognise when something needs to change, and move forward without forcing forgiveness.Because your anger is not automatically a problem to fix. Sometimes it's an emotion worth listening to. But you get to decide what you do with it.
