Deep dives
Understanding Anger and Resistance
Anger typically lasts about 90 seconds in our brains, but our resistance to fully experiencing it can prolong its impact. This resistance often leads individuals to avoid confronting their feelings, resulting in a prolonged narrative around the emotion, as illustrated by a personal example where frustration built up due to misunderstandings in communication. Instead of addressing the root cause of anger, many people fuel the emotion through avoidance and judgment, preventing the natural release of the energy associated with it. Learning to acknowledge and accept anger without judgment is essential for processing the emotion and moving towards a more fulfilling state of being.
