EP33. Tending the Inner Fire of Anger and Other Feelings

Feelings and emotions are what make us human. For some of us, however, overwhelming feelings can lead to greater disturbances in life. When you drown in your feelings instead of sitting with them, they tend to overtake your life. This episode talks about general feelings – specifically anger. How can we let go of a feeling when it seems to consume us? Passion is considered a good thing, but when does it cross the line? How can you maintain your authentic self throughout the process? We’ll delve into those questions, “pop psychology,” and more in this week’s episode.
