Injustice, Abuse, Trauma and Dissociated Anger - Discovering Truth with Dan Duval

Understanding and Addressing Anger in Trauma Healing

In this episode of Discovering Truth with Dan Duval, Dan Duval explores the complex and often misunderstood emotion of anger particularly in the context of severe trauma and abuse. Dan emphasizes that anger is a normal and necessary emotional response to injustice, mistreatment, and traumatic experiences. He challenges common myths surrounding anger, including the belief that feeling angry is ungodly. According to Dan, religious programming and societal expectations have conditioned many people to suppress their anger, leading to emotional disconnection not only from painful emotions but also from joy, love, and peace. By acknowledging and processing anger in a healthy way, individuals can move toward deeper healing and genuine restoration. Dan highlights the importance of affirming one’s emotions as a vital step in the process of sanctification and a pathway to true freedom in Christ.This episode invites listeners to rethink anger not as a spiritual failure, but as an emotion that, when understood and addressed, can become a powerful catalyst for healing and transformation.
