Absolutely true - 42 ish minutes in! I consider myself a reasonable person. Last year wuth a family bereavement feelings were running high. I left a horrid whatsapp voice message on someones phone. The worst thing i could have done!
I'm an imploder! Anger doesn't do me any good because it affects my health I'm convinced of it now. My question is if you are very angry as a child because your environment was very stressful, how do you deal with this anger? As a child you haven't got the skills to think at the time. The are your parents and as a child you have basic needs. I'm assuming that the bhuddist way is to learn skills for going forwards so that the anger doesn't build up? I've noticed from psychology literature that anger is an emtion and we can't deny our emotions. We need to feel them or its dissociation. Very different to bhuddism. Or is it? Is it that the skillful thinking will intercept the emotion from actually starting?
