Repressed Anger: How I Healed My Addiction and Skin Problems By Integrating My Unconscious RAGE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- In this video, I share my transformational experience working with repressed anger and some of the key things I’ve learned along the way about how to get in touch with anger, thaw out the barriers to expression, and how to use the body (postures, gestures, movements, sounds etc.) to more and more fully embody that anger.
Doing this has resulted in my addictions falling off a cliff and getting a lot of relief from chronic skin issues.
Working with anger is worth it! But it's difficult and requires a lot of skill (and patience!).

This was brilliant, especially your insight around 'if you don't get in touch with your anger, you'll be anxious and you won't be able to set boundaries' - wow, super impressed :))
Thank you :)
Wow thank you so much! I’ve been anxious, codependent and numb my whole life due to trauma. After ten years of hard work with my dissociation and fear my anger/rage started showing up in my body.
This video is a life saver and I used the tools which helped a lot since I can’t scream without feeling self aware and worried my neighbours might hear through the wall (I acknowledge that part of me).
Pushing against a wall while fueling all my energy and grunting felt awesome! I feel so validated, alive and powerful - like a real human being! Thank you!!!
Amazing - that's exactly it! Congrats on your long journey ;)
@@drunkenbuddha4456 thank you, and same to you friend! :)
The first part is so relatable. Thank you!
Thank you for this.. I have been releasing various stages of repressed unconscious & conscious anger & painful emotions in the last 20 years from this lifetime & now from past lifetimes.. It was so so intense & very often for the first dozen years & since not as much, but still doing it.. But once it is said done & experienced,, I've come out feeling More, Love, Unconditional Love,, More easiness to Forgive others, the past & My SELF!,, lol,, More Harmony Understanding, Patience & Faith.. A lot of physical ailments disappearing & even gone for good.. Meditating A Lot & stretching brought a lot up & healed .. I was a sex addict because of The unconscious anger.. Thank you my friend, this video is of great service to humanity..
Wonderful to hear thanks for sharing. That is my experience too. Anger is deeply transformative
Ok so I'm autistic (recently diagnosed at 34), I come from a family of addicts and cluster b personality types, and it's been years of trying to get myself out and into a safe/healthy way of life. I have hella ptsd but lucky to have some support systems.
I have been meditating and doing somatic work now for all these years and the anger/rage always trips me up. It consumes me and ruins many of my relationships, and just doesn't stop coming up. I can sit with it, express it, it's always still there. And any time there are major world events/war/injustice I just feel it washing over me again (so like, constantly now).
Hearing you say how many hours/layers you had to work through was actually very validating and I needed to hear that. Thank you.
Hey, thanks for your comment. Glad it was helpful. Yes, I found it AMAZING how much rage was down there. Feeling and expressing it (remaining in the body is key during this) is half of it. I've learned that healing the wound underneath is also important. Meeting the need of the hurt that is behind the anger. You might want to consider exploring that angle.
I've written a more detailed guide to anger here check it out: www.drunkenbuddha.net/repressed-anger
Good luck :)
@@drunkenbuddha4456 thank you, that was a great article. I have a habit of dissociating so I'll probably have to discuss more with my therapist. Hope you're doing well on your journey.
@@mmhmmmificate You're welcome - likewise, good luck!
Beautiful, thank you.
Such a valuable transmission. Thanks.Love.
You're so welcome
It was fun to watch you try to walk through the wall Good job!😀
Thank you🥹🙏 the repressed anger that I have shows up as perfectionism and cellulite. I want to embody heal and release. Thank you so much
I hear you! Sounds like a plan to me :) if you want more info or support check out my links in the description.
This was extremely helpful!! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome :)
This is great. Many thanks for explaining this 😤
You're welcome Nick :)
This is really good my friend. Thank you for lending voice to this.
Thank you :)
Thank you!
Very helpful for me, thank you!
Thanks you're welcome :)
thank you for making this. bit of a taboo topic. im impressed that you were able to be intentional with the anger. i find mine becomes blind rage so quickly and has a forest fire affect. hard to be centered within it. also find myself mentally spiral with judgements and stories whenever it comes up. doesnt feel "appropriate" to express as a woman (yet so many reasons we have intense rage from boundary crossings). probably worse now as im only feeling/expressing it for the first time at 26yrs old. glad you found some peace- its a deeply unpleasant emotional cycle to be stuck in. ur success will bring some hope im sure
Thanks Tess - I hear you. It's a skill to learn to be with our anger and work through the defences to it (judgements etc.). It's well worth the effort to reintegrate our anger , I've got more details in a long article I wrote since filming this you might like: www.drunkenbuddha.net/repressed-anger
I Wish I could release it... I know I have repressed anger but anyhow its still in me. I cant tap into it so easily.
Hey Anna, yes it's tricky. You often need to gently investigate the layers of protective parts first that are covering the anger (freeze, numbness, dissociation etc.). It takes time, but with enough safety, skill and space the anger can start to come up. Reach out to me if you want to know more ben@drunkenbuddha.net :) good luck!
@@drunkenbuddha4456 the thing is that I would prefer personal meeting not online, dont know if this helps too...
Well said.
thank you
thank you so much
Thanks ;)
I’ve expressed my anger towards my mother and my sister like massively. I raged at them… it’s not that i like being like that but anger is a defense mechanism in situations you feel threatened. I used to hold myself in but this time i just exploded. I must tell, it was a massive release. I do hope that i can become more like indifferent towards these people! I wish that these triggers are history…
Hey Rik Key - I feel you, it's tricky. The extremes (either holding it in or raging/exploding) aren't too helpful - they hurt us and others. We need to learn to contain our anger (bit by bit). This is best done in our 'free time' so to speak, when we aren't super triggered. We take time out of our lives to specifically get in touch with our anger, acknowledge it, feel it and allow it - but without it exploding or overwhelming us. DM
I am angry of not being able to get angry, it’s a weird feeling, you know its there but you dont have access to it, it makes me feel desperate and hopeless 😔
I sooo eagerly want myself to get angry then and there when they say some BS , and not at later time
Hi, quick question, when practicing these exercises, you mentioned nausea, if someone is also physically sick/vomit, from doing them (stomach liquid coming up), is that a sign of defensive mechnisms or relieving the symptoms or potentially both? Any potential meaning behind this?
I have benefitted from this video, thank you for creating it.
Hi Rory, I think this would depend entirely on the situation. Generally, however, you've probably gone too far if you're throwing up! I would back off before that point and go more gently.
However, it is true that people purge emotional residue through all kinds of ways, including vomiting. I have had it once that another facilitator I was facilitating threw up a tiny bit (they were experienced enough to go there and know it was helpful - I wouldn't do this with a client). And of course it's very common in ayahuasca ceremonies (although it feels very different to 'normal' throwing up in that context).
What is more common is a kind of dry retching/gagging, which happens quite a lot and seems to be helpful to release things energetically/emotionally. But nothing is physically coming up. If the dry retching comes up I would see if you can slowly go with it (staying within your limits or near them) if it gets physical I would back off.
Thanks for the question.
@@drunkenbuddha4456 Thank you, I appreciate that info, regards Rory.
