Understanding and Embracing Anger
Anger is acknowledged as a complex and often irrational emotion that can be difficult to confront. During therapy, the speaker visualizes this anger as an emaciated bear confined to a cave, representing parts of themselves that feel neglected and misunderstood. This bear embodies not just anger but a fierce desire to protect, which can lead to destructive tendencies when deprived of nurturing attention. Through dialogue with this bear, the speaker learns to appreciate its strength and protective instincts rather than viewing it solely as a source of turmoil.
