Breathing in, I know that anger is here.
Breathing out, I know that the anger is not me.
Breathing in, I know that anger is unpleasant.
Breathing out, I know this feeling will pass.
Breathing in, I am calm.
Breathing out, I am strong enough to take care of this anger.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
My favourite therapist is all about the feelings. Sessions start with “What are you feeling today? Give me three and we’ll go from there.” It took us years to get to my anger. My family of origin was defined by emotional explosions, unfortunately, and it made me leery of anger. But in the end, I learned that anger holds important information; boundaries have been crossed, something’s not working, need to make changes, etc.. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
