- In David’s last session, I asked him to complete a piece of homework to help him build awareness of his anger. This week, David shares what he’s noticed about his anger, including what triggers it and how it manifests. We also look at some of the strategies David uses to ignore his emotions and I explain the difference between acting out emotion and actually feeling it.

Tough real raw emotion and getting to the heart of it to heal what we feel is such a difficult process, but so worthwhile in our healing journey Thankyou David for your bravery and honesty and sharing your story. David you are showing us all by giving things a go that Alex is helping you discover ( How do you eat an Elephant? One bite at a time) is helping us all be actively compassionate to ourselves in a real human way that is sustainable and ultimately makes us happier when we all have to deal with our suffering in life.
Thanks David for sharing your story. Thank you Alex. I liked the section on the energy of anger. Could you say more about how we manage our energy?
Thank you David for the demo on head shaving. I’ve often wondered how that is done. I’m still mystified as to why…. but now I know how! 😊
I appreciated Alex’s socks in this one ☺️
Great session! Such an important topic for all of us to address and I appreciate Alex’s suggestions and insight.
I thought it was interesting when you both made a comment about NOT sending apology letters - I understand not sending out regrets or emotional purging or anger letters, but is there a reason why you would not send an apology letter? Would be interested to hear more about this! This episode was so helpful in seeing just how much things are compounded emotionally and socially during lockdown and boy I really feel we'll all feel a weight off when we're through the other side...
Interesting question, Jenny. I think you'll notice Alex says that it's not *always* a good idea to send them. And I feel much of it would depend on the issue surrounding the apology and the clarity around that. If the other person doesn't want to hear from you, or the other person becomes further hurt and/or responds negatively, it's more likely to muddy the intention and potentially perpetuate. So, if making amends feels part of your own healing process, to make oneself feel better - better not sent. Empathy is often harder to gauge than it might seem.
