This video, in my opinion, was really beneficial. I appreciate this video because it discusses extremely significant emotions and how they are portrayed. I am aware that some of my anger is healthy and that my rage is well-founded. Finding the right strategy to deal with it while allowing myself to experience what is necessary has simply been difficult. Additionally, to support the "little self" inside who experienced the suffering and required nurturing and solace during the wrath. This video was a treasure to find on your feed today, and I send positive vibes, healing, peace, and direction to everyone as they navigate whatever it is they have been dealing with. The best is yet to come for us, and we can do this.God has us as well. Maintain your calmness and move forward!

My sister did Elara Vance arche type quiz and won’t tell me her result. Apparently I have to take it first. Why are people making this quiz so dramatic 😭

I punched pillows and was stuck in blame and rage for years. I have found that I must allow myself to feel and move the anger in my body at a certain issue until I can reach the emotions of fear and complete grief lying underneath. Grieving my lost childhood, the unloving treatment I received are what actually started healing me and helping me forgive and what finally ended the rage cycle.

I don´t trust this theory of 'two types of anger', there are many situations in Iife when you can be angry because of something. ( Interesting is the term 'heaIthy anger'. He´s taIking about boundaries and surpressing cuIture. And then he teIIs you what the heaIthy anger is. It´s Iike a boundary based on seIf-Iove.) Of course - you can say that trust is my inner probIem and it´s connected to my chiIdhood. Of course. You can say this anytime. That´s a universaI aIibi.

I love Gabor Maté and his work. Currently I am listening to his book „The myth of normal“ and find it very helpful in my healing process.

I expected Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz to focus mostly on obvious symptoms, but the questions seemed to cover a much broader range of behaviors. Some were about emotions, while others were more about habits and reactions. I’m interested to see how all of that gets combined.

Appreciate you being transparent about your anger struggles and having Gabor Mate on your show. I’ve struggled as well due to all my trauma. I’m learning….its hard.

You can say whatever, nothing like exercises after a raging moment to compensate

@valtracey6180 3 years ago

Very good clip - important to highlight. Gabor deals very effectively with a highly sensitive topic. Where is our anger really coming from? It’s not from the guy who jumped in front of you in the queue or the guy who accidentally stepped on your toe! It’s already INSIDE, just waiting for someone to step on your toe …. you can be outraged at an injustice, but not enraged by it if you’re not already angry.

I once experienced rage so powerful it was like a fireball that came up from the pit of my guts. It was about to come out of my mouth uncontrollably and I purposefully shut my mouth for a little bit so I could form words to express it (don't know if that was the right thing to do or not). Because I had stopped it at throat / voice box level the heat burnt my voice box and when I went to speak I had to whisper because my voice box seemed to be burnt out. I couldn't speak clearly for a few days....

Why is this one of half a dozen videos with exactly the same content and different titles?

I was told that my anger will kill me but it has kept me alive for this long after many years of mental abuse and then being got rid while the abusers thrived inside my family, i became homeless and rudderless for many years but self preservation kicked in. My rage has mellowed over the years but sometimes because of recent circumstances i am struggling with it, for me it is a coping mechanism and keeps people at bay, probably is i am terrified of forming close relationships and have opted for a life of solitude.

As one who knows a thing or two about rage,
- On the other side of rage is fear.
- Personally the best way I've found to deal with rage, is finding the strength through Gods Devine Grace to forgive my offenders..

I tried watching all the videos about processing anger with Gabor Mate, but didn't understand exactly what are the steps. I understand that it's best not to store the anger, but feel the body and be in a situation (?) Is it possible to talk about it in more details? I'm sure I'm not the only one who is interested in the subject. Thank you!
