More Somatic Exercises for Anger: Unleash the Beast!
In this video, I share somatic tools/exercises to express anger or healthy aggression. Anger is a natural, primal emotion that just wants to be expressed, but we often don't know how to express it in a healthy way. These tools use your voice, hands, and face/jaw to mobilize and express/release stuck or repressed energy from the viscera and muscles.
These tools might help you if you feel like you repress anger, have a lot of rage/explosions, or are stuck in your "fight" response. They can also help you build a sense of vitality, power, confidence, and agency in your body and mind.
