Do you spend endless amounts of energy trying to repress anger and rage? Are you a pro at stuffing down those feelings and replacing them with “Happy Thoughts?” Is it your honest opinion that you’re doing the world a favor by controlling the anger and rage that you sometimes feel?
Anger is a natural feeling and if you live in this world today, you are going to feel angry sometimes. However, most of us feel as though controlling that anger and never allowing ourselves to feel it, let alone express it, is the only commendable thing to do.
I have another theory on this. Allowing yourself to feel that anger and rage, and if fact express it (in a safe way) is the key to becoming more of who you are.
Watch the video as I explain why you might have taken a vow to never express your anger and why that’s hurting you in the long run (and share some tapping that might help)!
How did that feel…allowing some of that anger to be expressed? Leave a comment and let me know if this struck a cord with you!
HI Margaret,
Great video!!! What are a few suggestions you have on how one is to “Safely” express their anger and rage?
Thanks So Much for Sharing,
Tammy
Hello Margaret;
As you mentioned a few times…we all will have anger along the way in life, though it’s how does anger make us feel and or control what we do with such anger/rage. Depress it or express it?
If we depress it, we simply build up resentment and one day it just might become an unpredictable action we might regret…or learn just how to make our point with full control of our anger and allow it to drive us to success within..
Meaning the first person that losses their control of anger, loses the fight..sort of peak as well. I learned that on the streets and within the arm forces as an Ranger. As you mentioned, one can express them self…however, do so with full control in expressing their mind. Am I understanding you correctly?

Thank you for this video, and the insightful perspective on anger! Loved the tapping rounds, and I’ve started tapping when I feel angry, and allowing myself to give it a (LOUD) voice while doing so 🙂
Thanks Margaret..I did this with you today & while tapping a deep emotion arose about my mother.. Who was pretty angry & I realized I haven’t let go or acknowledged the hurt and Anger I was still holding on a deeper level about that. . So thank you for your prompt to open that door and explore my true power on another level. .With gratitude Terese
Hi Margaret,
I totally agree with you that repressing our anger drains away our vital energy and creative powers, while spewing our anger out only hurts others, damages our relationships and makes us feel guilty. I am just getting into tapping and looking forward to using it to help me have the courage to voice my anger and to do it in an honest and loving way.
Another tool which I have found to be extremely helpful in this area is Nonviolent Communication. Whether you are a person who represses your anger or lets it fly, this technique can be very helpful in developing a new away of using your anger, as well as any other unpleasant feelings, to get your needs met, create the life that you want for yourself and to help others to do the same.
Maragaret, Thank you for addressing this important topic. It is very timely for me as I’ve recently begun to experience real physical consequences of long-term repressed anger in the form kidney issues. So this practice will be a huge help in my recovery & ability to express anger in a way that serves my highest good.
