The Delicious Power of Anger
Anyone here ever gotten angry? I’ll start. In fact, most days I get angry. I’ll usually get angry at least once in traffic. I often get angry in grocery stores somewhere around the dairy aisle when someone is taking just a bit too long selecting yogurt. And I definitely get angry anytime I’m on public transportation or even just waiting in a line for coffee.
Sometimes I get extremely angry at politics, expecially the ones that take away life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, nee property. Speaking of, I get angry when other people’s dogs poop on my lawn. I occasionally get angry at the boys who spray paint dumb shit on the wall behind my house, mostly because they’re poisoning the beehives.
The thing that makes me the most angry? Airports. “Bless them, heal me” is my constant refrain all the way through the Denver airport snake of a security line. When I make it through I always reward myself with a McDonalds Sausage McMuffin and Cheese breakfast sammy no matter the time of day. Now that’s a spiritual reward, right there.
But the truth about anger? It’s the most amazing spiritual immune system we have, and it’s also the most heavily programmed, as I wrote about last time.
Here’s some of the programming on anger:
First, don’t even have anger
If you do have anger, stuff it
If you can’t stuff it, do not under any circumstances express it directly
If you do express it directly, you better feel some shame or embarrasment at the very least and apologize and/or grovel
Whatever makes you angry, deal with it, don’t try to change it, go ahead and keep putting yourself in harms way
If you still have anger, too bad, that means you’re not that spiritual/mature/worthy/loveable/sacred/healed/whole
So you see, there’s nothing simple about anger. But anger is what comes up most often with my clients in one way or another. Why? Because it’s such important information about one thing and one thing only; where our boundaries have been breached.

At it’s core, that’s all anger is. An alarm system for something in our space that shouldn’t be there. This could happen in all sorts of ways. It could be our parent’s voice embedded in our throat so we say things we would never say on our own. It could be your ex’s energy still tinkering with your self-worth in any number of ways for any number of reasons, none of them good. It could be society’s rules occupying your willpower space about how to behave like a good little girl or boy.
Or it could be something totally unique to you. Whatever it is, it means you’ve got to pause and reset your boundaries. Anger does that extremely well. Anger is a physical energy that pushes things out and away. Anger itself needs to be expressed with movement or it gums up the works. Anger will tell you immediately and exactly where the breach happened.
But if, because of programming, you’ve stuffed your anger then it changes shape in your system and shows up in other ways. Sickness, illness, passive aggressiveness, resentment, sideways behavior, betrayal of others, self-pity, you name it. And your body and spirit suffer for it.

Anger is good. I want you to have your anger. I want you to be in relationship with anger. I want you to express your anger in a way that supports you and keeps you safe and healthy.
If you’re struggling with ‘anger issues’ (by which I don’t mean that you get angry but that you stuff your anger) you deserve help. You deserve to know exactly where your boundaries have been breached. This can be hard to know because so much about our society decimates healthy boundaries everyday and we’re mostly taught to just deal with it.
But you can live in this society without compromising your container, as I put it. You can walk through the airport, or dairy aisle, or drive in traffic, feel your anger, know exactly where it’s coming from, and take the steps you need to keep your personal space protected and clean.
If you’d like to do this work, great. If you’d like to do it with me, even better. And stay tuned next week for more on the anger that comes from religious and institutional programming. Yikes, what a cliffhanger!
PS. Obviously that’s Christ at the top turning over the money tables in one of his most fantastic expressions of anger. Love that guy.
