Gift of Anger

 Embracing My Shadow: The Gift of Anger

a Therapeutic Art eCourse

with Lifetime Access 

Depending on where we live in the World, we tend to have our Cultural Norms regarding Anger and all of our Emotions.  It’s a kind of shared expectation we learn as we grow up and is usually reinforced in our Home and Community. 

When we are young, and throughout our Lives, we quickly learn which Feelings, Emotions and Behaviours are Approved of ...or Disapproved of. 

We then Conform & Adapt to Belong and feel safe in our Family & Community  

Being 'Angry' is usually frowned upon, disapproved of...

and yet our Anger is part of our natural Survival Instinct

It is there, available to us in a flash and yet is often squashed by Beliefs & Values

Our Shadow Side: Where do we 'put' all the disapproved of 'stuff'?

I believe each one of us has a shadow side.  It isn’t something we can get hold of, touch or see, but is a Psychological concept or theory.  We can happily 'file' away or 'deposit' all those aspects of ourselves which we know with certainty, will be disapproved of.  

As time passes we become very adept at Denial of such urges. 

We ignore and stuff down anything which gets in the way of our very Survival.  Of course...  who wants to be unloved or alone in the world?

Anger, jealousy, hatred, selfishness, sadness, greed and more cannot be 'allowed' under any circumstances to be seen, felt, heard or known by another. 

Into the Shadow they must go, forever...  or maybe not?


Expression of our Anger...

As a Therapist over the last 20+ years, I have discovered that the majority of us do not wish to admit or experience feelings of Anger.  They don’t want to be faced with the Anger of another.  They learned that in order to be Loved and Accepted by those around them, “Anger” is not OK.  Therefore, avoid Anger at all costs or ....face the consequences.

A long time ago before I had personal therapy, I believed that to be Angry was “bad”.  I believed if I became angry, especially as a woman, I would not be wanted nor loved and most definitely be disapproved of and even rejected.  My Anger was quickly squashed down into my Shadow.  I slammed down that lid and bolted the door! 

How many of us, I wonder, have spent a lifetime suppressing our Anger in order to be acceptable, approved of, liked?

Here’s the thing however… Anger is something that exists in the oldest part of our Brain.  Our Nervous System operates at an incredible speed, commonly known as our fight or flight response, an incredible, powerful, Energy.  It is there for a very good reason.  It exists so we can survive. 

And so here we have an Impasse...  Anger is naturally within us for survival purposes and in order to survive family, school, community we have to resist our Anger...  What an inner turmoil...!

Our Anger, I believe, is a Gift

I have created an online experience which invites you to discover the incredible Gift that is absolutely priceless yet completely free to You.  You were born with this Gift, yet through social conditioning we tend to be 'trained' to deny, ignore or repress our natural, fight or flight response.  I can teach you how you can release and embrace your anger in ways which will offer you self protection and respect without harming yourself or another through my Unique Approach to Expressive Art.
