#315 - Anger Pt 1: Why You’re So Angry in This Relationship

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!

In part one of our three-part anger series, we are talking about what anger really is when you are living with someone in active addiction, emotional immaturity, or someone who may be sober but still completely unhealed.

Too many people have been taught that anger means they are bitter, toxic, dramatic, or “the problem.” But anger is often the part of you that knows something is wrong. It is the emotion that says your values are being violated, your nervous system is exhausted, and you cannot keep surviving like this forever.

We talk about the difference between anger and aggression, why suppressing your anger keeps you stuck, and how waiting for someone else to finally validate your pain or take accountability only prolongs the chaos. We also share how we each experienced anger differently, why it can either become destructive or transformative, and how to start using it as fuel for change instead of a weapon.

Whether you are still in the relationship, your partner is newly sober, or you are long out of it but still carrying resentment, this episode will help you understand what your anger may really be trying to tell you.
