Conditioned Emotional Suppression: The Emotional Experiences of the Marginalized, Ep. 203

In 'Rage Becomes Her,' Soraya Chemaly argues that women's anger is not only justified but also a vital instrument for change. The book explores how girls and women are conditioned from infancy to suppress their anger, and how this suppression affects their health and wellbeing. Chemaly lays out the systemic ways in which female rage is suppressed, diverted, or minimized, and provides scientific evidence and personal experiences to support her arguments. She encourages women to recognize, articulate, and use their anger to spark change and challenges the societal and cultural norms that belittle women's anger as a means of controlling their power.

Radical Candor by Kim Scott offers a practical approach to management by emphasizing the importance of caring personally and challenging directly. The book argues that effective managers must find a balance between being empathetic and providing clear, honest feedback. Scott draws from her experiences at Google and Apple to provide actionable lessons on building strong relationships, giving feedback, and creating a collaborative work environment. The book introduces the concept of 'radical candor' as the sweet spot between obnoxious aggression and ruinous empathy, and provides tools and strategies for managers to implement this approach in their daily work.

This book by Dr. Jonice Webb explores the concept of Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN), a condition where children do not receive the necessary emotional support from their parents. The book is divided into three parts: Part I explains CEN and the twelve parenting styles that can lead to emotional neglect; Part II describes the ten issues adults with CEN may struggle with; and Part III provides strategies and practical exercises to help readers overcome CEN. Dr. Webb uses relatable examples, checklists, and worksheets to help readers understand and address their emotional neglect. The book emphasizes that CEN is not about blaming parents but about recognizing and changing the patterns that have been passed down through generations.
