I suppressed my anger, like flipping a switch, and I remember the exact moment. Not because my anger towards parents would be unsafe but because I didn't want to be like my father who always was angry towards his children.

[coralm]

This reminds me of this poem by Rumi:

This being human is a guest house.

Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, 

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!

Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, 

who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture, 

still, treat each guest honorably.

He may be clearing you out

for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice, 

meet them at the door laughing, 

and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, 

because each has been sent

as a guide from beyond.

I don't think I will ever stop to either internally, mentally or openly, thank this man, since when i started hear him talking in 2015 whilst I was depressed sad and hopeless sitting in a. cafe in Berlin, with my laptop open in front of me, watching him speaking about addiction, since then each and every time I hear him speaking, I hear a man with a capacity for compassion, empathy, emotional intelligence and logic whom goes farther beyond with his comprehension then anyone else I've ever listened to talking about very delicate and complex subjects : soul, nervous system body, childhood trauma, addiction, upbringing, family system. thank you Dr. Gabor Mate, from someone whom never confides in authority or those whom cover authoritarian roles

The good die young because they supress their emotions!!! Whoa... that hit hard

[anahitamirzaei]

It is not just about safety and if we express our anger it is not safe. For me it is because nobody accept it and they use it against me to laugh at me and say I’m very emotional, sensitive and I should be strong.they give me advise on how something is making me angry doesn’t make sense and then I have to deal with a hatred and double rage

[Barbara-gvvw]

Healthy anger vs unhealthy anger is an important distinction! I’ve heard depression is anger turned inward!

“I was amazed by *Universal Dispute* professionalism and efficiency. They turned a stressful situation into a seamless experience. Excellent service!”

[thekristinestory]

We suppress anger due to fear of rejection.

This message is so liberating if you've spent your whole life either being told or feeling that your anger is invalid and not okay to express. Today and hereafter, I'm embracing my anger in a wise way as the important signal that it is.

[Ecrin-pv]

You and your team and your associates are absolute legends.
Thanks so much for the Work that you've all been doing *Universaldispute* .

Wow 😳 in a few minutes I've made a real shift in my relationship to anger Incredibly illuminating..

[peterreed]

I've become a master of repressing anger as experience has shown me this is the best way to maintain control. Not one member of my family, friend, colleague, stranger, etc has ever seen me angry in well over 40 years. I've learnt to modulate my emotions and feelings, including anger, as this is my way of maintaining a 100% control of my environment. People who get angry are just inadequate and weak of mind and spirit. When people are angry with me I tell them I'm not going to talk to them and for them to go away. When they are calm and can speak to me like an adult I'm all ears.

[juliangiulio]

All our feelings need to be UNSHAMED unconditionally allowed.... even ones like hate and jealousy.
For the vulnerable tricky ones they can be done in solitude until we are confident and clear that we can express them in due contexts...
When we can do this, it is such a Help for all parts of ourselves, of course!

[anahitamirzaei]

Thanks Dr Mate.
I should say expressing anger or healthy anger it is not easy. It is not a decision. It is based on a deep understanding of yourselves and human nature, sometimes different cultures and people. Even knowing people’s games and motivations and their dark side and your own dark side and so many other factors. So, when someone is trying to tease you or make fun of you it is important to know where does it come from. Otherwise, you can’t neutralized it and make a boundary or show your anger. Anyone any idea?

[SheylahC]

Thing is how do you process/express anger in a healthy way when while living in a society that more often than not antagonises you and yet doesn't allow you to express said anger?
