Is Your Anger Sabotaging You?

Is Your Anger Sabotaging You?

Anger is a very tricky emotion! It is both helpful and dangerous.

Helpful: it protects us from threat by engaging our fight instinct.

Dangerous: it can keep us from getting what we want.

In the case of relationships, when you’re angry, it is a cue that you’re not getting what you want, and you protest, for a damn good reason!

You’re being ignored, disrespected, emotionally neglected.

So, of course you’re angry. I get it!

But here’s the truth about anger: either you’re controlling your anger or IT is controlling you.

And when you’re not controlling it, it sabotages your relationship.

I know you’re not intending this. It’s NOT your fault.

For so many of the women I’ve worked with, they felt immense anger toward their husband for how he’s treated them.

But, in NONE of those cases did the anger get them what they wanted!

Each woman had to face her anger head on, own it, and figure out a different way.

This is not for the faint of heart…it required courage, humility, a whole lot of self-compassion, and accepting outside support to do the hard work.

They had to face something inside them that they didn’t want to.

But guess what happened for each of those women? Their husbands then came closer. Started talking to them. Wanted to spend quality time.

It got better and better.

You can’t stay stuck in anger. Anger only pushes him away vs bring him closer.
