Anger as a Positive Force #Anger #negative emotion #repressed #positive #Power #feelings #podcast

Do we have anger all wrong?

We often hear that anger is a negative emotion to be suppressed, avoided, or managed. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong? Angela Legh, our guest on the latest episode of Renew Motherhood, argues that anger can actually stimulate your immune system. Yes, you read that right!

In our conversation, Angela challenges the conventional wisdom by suggesting that short-term anger can be a platform for creating something positive in the world. It's all about how we choose to express it. When anger is used constructively, it can be a powerful force for good.

However, the line between positive and negative expressions of anger is thin. When anger is used to lash out, often rooted in unexpressed childhood pain, it becomes destructive. It's time we rethink how we teach our children to deal with their feelings, especially anger.

Could it be that we've been too quick to dismiss anger as a purely negative force? How might our relationships, both with ourselves and others, change if we learned to harness it positively?
