Anger

Bottling up your anger might feel like keeping the peace, but from a therapist's lens, it's more like shaking up a soda can.

Constantly suppressing anger doesn't make it disappear. Instead, it often festers and can bubble up in unexpected ways, impacting your:

 * Relationships: Leading to passive-aggression, resentment, or sudden outbursts.

 * Well-being: Contributing to anxiety, depression, headaches, or even digestive issues.

 * Self-awareness: Making it harder to understand your own needs and boundaries.

Think of anger as a signal – it's telling you something important. Learning to acknowledge and express it in healthy ways is key to better mental and emotional health.

If you find yourself constantly suppressing anger, exploring these feelings in therapy can provide valuable tools and insights. It's about learning to communicate assertively, set boundaries, and process emotions in a way that honours yourself and your relationships.

Let's break the cycle of suppression and build healthier ways to navigate anger.
