b'
This is a call about how to heal anger and discover the passion and creativity that lie underneath. Today\\u2019s caller, Keira, feels she got the short end of the stick in life. She has done a lot of personal growth work and introspection but she is still angry and sad and wants guidance on how to find her way through her feelings.

As children or adolescents, we make unconscious vows of \\u2018I will never be like mom,\\u2019 or \\u2018I\\u2019ll never be like dad,\\u2019 or \\u2018I will never be like that person who teased me,\\u2019 but just making that vow or that promise is not enough. If you don\\u2019t heal the wounds that perpetuated making that vow, either you become like them or you go so far in the opposite direction that it becomes a shadow side.
If we\\u2019re angry all the time or angry at the world it breeds a deep sense of low self-worth. People who are angry generally have low self-worth because unprocessed anger creates an intense sense of separation. Which is another reason I\\u2019m so passionate about helping people process anger in a healthy way.
Anger misdirected is dangerous but anger directed in a healthy way can be deeply healing. Underneath that anger is where we often find our passion and our purpose.
If you feel shut down or you don\\u2019t know what your purpose is or what you are supposed to do, do anger release work to see what is underneath your anger. You will become a clearer channel for ideas and innovation.
