Rage Club: Wellington May / June '24

How is your relationship to your anger?

Do you use your anger, or does your anger use you?

Or do you believe that you are ‘not an angry person’….? (uh-oh)

If it is not a mistake of nature that we all have access to the energy of anger, then what is it for?

In modern culture we are deeply conditioned that it is not OK to be angry because “Anger is one of the negative feelings,” and “anger is dangerous, loud, embarrassing, uncivilized”.

However it turns out that suppressing anger is the most direct route to its unconscious manifestations, such as reactivity and explosiveness. Perhaps less known, suppressing anger can also lead to passivity, adaptivity and 'implosion'.

The same energy of anger can be used consciously in a LOT of ways, including;

  • Say "No!" or "Stop!".
  • say “Yes!” (by the way, you can only say yes, if you can say an authentic no, otherwise your yes is a lie).
  • change things, move things, stop things, start things, invent things.
  • make distinctions (just wait until you discover that distinctions are more powerful than boundaries!).
  • say what you want, or say what you don’t want.
  • commit, keep promises.
  • get rid of things.
  • stay centered in tricky situations.
  • communicate clearly and concisely.
  • build the 'gameworld' / culture that you want to live in.
  • distinguish between your feelings and other people's feelings.
  • distinguish between your feelings and your emotions.
  • take a stand for something or for someone.
  • take action.
  • hold space.
  • maintain integrity.
  • make clear boundaries.
  • decide.
  • an inexhaustible source of energy for being your destiny in action.
  • Be present! If you are not present, who is running your life? Possible answers: Your mother, your partner, your kids, your job, your dog, your television, your addictions, Friday evenings, your circumstances, the government, your beauty standards, your opinions and beliefs…

How can you use your anger for all this you ask? Well, first you would have to own it, instead of it owning you.

Welcome to Rage Club.
