Many people with Complex Trauma have suppressed their anger for so long that they are not even aware that they have deep anger issues; but once they become aware, they admit that a deep anger has been there for as long as they can remember, and they are afraid of it. Tim explores the difference between healthy and unhealthy anger, and tools for managing anger in a healthy way.

    Anger is considered dangerous so people end up depressed or dissociating because it's safer

  • @catalystcomet

    I think it's considered dangerous because typically when we're children if an adult around us is experiencing anger it's because they deem something as threatening their survival. Typically though, what they're experiencing is a trigger which was created at a time when they were young and their survival actually was threatened. So you could get angry that your spouse isn't paying attention to you and that could really piss you off but it's because you're triggered and brought back to a time where a parent was neglecting you. Then of course you're not allowed to be angry, maybe they call you selfish or something. So you're taught to believe that the idea of caring for yourself and advocating for yourself is selfish. Even dangerous in and of itself.

I have zero patience or compassion for my 86 yr old narcissistic father. I actually have to stay away because I am tempted to engage in revenge abuse now that he's had strokes and is frail. That's a pretty shameful thing to admit, but it's true. Doing something like that to another human being on an angry impulsive is against everything I usually stand for in life. I am better than that, I am not like him. Plus he's not worth the prison time, so he is in the care of the state government and I am 1400 miles away hoping to get the phone call that will tell me he is gone according to God's will, and I am free.

    I have always thought that the study of psychology ought to be intertwined with religion. After all, it is the study of how to reconcile feelings and attitudes and it seems to me that is a very spiritual thing, very close to what Christ was talking about in being sensitive to one another. But, instead, there is all of this suspicion and derision on the part of many in the psych field, and almost total ignorance of psych on the part of so many in the religious world. It is so sad to me. I feel glad that I straddle the two worlds; I can't imagine one without the other.

We were physically punished for expressing anger. It’s taken me a lifetime to understand that my parent’s teaching only served to evoke anger at the injustice of being suppressed! Omy.

It seems the anger bubbles after fear......fear of rejection, being lied to, abandonment are my top 3. Anger was squelched quickly when I was a child , as was the word "no" , you never say no to an adult. Anger or temper from frustration was punished. I haven't learned to say NO until very recently and I'm 69 yrs. young.....and I feel like I'm looking over both shoulders when I say it! New to your channel and boy is it bringing up a lot of shit🥺

    I grew up in a strict religious cult, where “contention is of the devil”, which translated to anger. Anger was NOT allowed; we would be physically punished for expressing anger outwardly. From a young age, I turned my anger inward, resulting in suicidal thoughts from the age of 12, dysfunctional eating (undiagnosed because going to see a professional for help was frowned upon), self-harm, and deep depression, that lasted for decades. Part of healing for me has been accepting and welcoming, feeling and processing my anger. Which consequently has resulted in being able to feel all other emotions on a much deeper and richer level. Tim’s words of wisdom have had a profound impact on my healing and I’ll be forever grateful to have come across this channel.

    I almost shed a tear reading your comment. I had to explode too. Many times. Up to the point that it was wiser to daily smoke marijuana to cope with the sharpest edges of my anger. I needed to decide that at an age of 16. Years before that I already learned to walk away for days to avoid any escalation from my side. Sometimes it took me days to calm down. A lot of times it was even better to sleep outside than going back home to get once again triggered by my narcissistic witch mother, gaslighting me as a pathological liar. Over and over and over again. So the older I got, the more I resisted amd rebelled against her bullshit. I knew from an early age that she was deliberately trying to drive me insane. She absolutely hated my guts for being so stubborn and sophisticated, to not give into her insanity and proving her wrong wherever I could. Despite me making dumb mistakes. She wanted me to hit her, so she could put me away in prison and get rid of me. But instead, I never made that mistake. Ultimately, she fled the country to another continent without telling me a word. Forever afraid of the monster that she created: my rage!

    I grew up with a narcissistic father who only always thought and talked about himself and how great he was. The others could not voice their opinions different from his, and if we ever did he would explode, lash out, and ridicule like crazy. It was excruciating being around him and he would often make us cry or feel bad about ourselves. I would sometimes complain about him to my mother but she always took his side. One time I asked my dad if he would like to know what’s going on with me. He sneered and said why would I? And asked jokingly so how are YOU? I couldn’t answer because I knew that he didn’t really want to know. He just never cared about anyone besides himself.

    As a child i remember having my back against my bedroom door, clutching my blanket, scared to death, hearing my dad yelling and being angry. My parents verbally fought a lot when i was young. Usually after dad had a few beers. He was cool sober mostly, or when really drunk on margaritas, but after a few beers the anger bubbled out. I was always terrified. On top of the sense of justice of autism, I'm the angriest person you will ever meet, also struggling with anxiety and depression. I try to push it down when it's inappropriate, but when I feel it isn't and let it vent, i scare people. Also i have no brakes, no chill. 0 to 100 real fkn fast.

I always thought I was passivist and just wasn't angry. Now I'm seeing i majorly turned it all inward to myself which led to my over a decade long self harm addiction and other issues. I'm really struggling with so many things I'm remembering from my childhood that fill me with over whelming shame and sorrow. I try to take the memories as they come and try to ride out the feelings.

    My Anger is substantially present in my life. I confess to it. Every point made in this talk is highly relevant. Luckily i have always vented all of my emotions. I avoid any type of counselling after being betrayed by a counsellor at a young age. A female. So these talks i find very helpful. Free Health Care. I am a very good person but the Anger is there, often on full display. It reminds me of why i have anger. All so well listed in this talk. My childhood was traumatic on so many levels. Still i am very grateful for having a childhood. I do not blame or carry grudges. I just live with the side effects. Violence is a constant threat. I don't think any good person has anything to worry about if i am angry. Bad ones not so sure. Anyway, Thank You.

    Feeling violated is basic (betrayed intertwined) to my anger. My writing helps release the confusion of the process of becoming aware of what it is. But, the visceral embedding of this anger needs me to move about and exercise. Stretching is a very helpful beginning and so is massage. But now, I'm even becoming eager to get outside and walk like I used to before I became so very isolated. I promise myself to do this today.

    Part of why I dislike, stuff down, criticize, and reject my feelings of externalized anger is that I know what it looks like from the outside. It's so ugly. The word that pops into mind is "filthy". The angry so-called parent's rage displays weren't just scary, they were disgusting, twisted, repugnant. I'd do just about anything not to be that person, not to have others see me look and act like that. However, it's pretty compulsive to turn the full fire of that nastiness on myself many times a day. I've also had to re-teach myself that there are _degrees_ of anger. Mild, medium, intense, a whole spectrum. That was not my childhood reality. Back then, someone being pushy, someone being late or forgetting something important, someone cutting you off in traffic, and serious attacks on self or property were all the exact same flavor of murderous rage. That's all I saw, and I began to believe that anger was essentially evil. Not being able to rid myself of it meant I was evil, and I felt hatred for myself without realizing that I wasn't black and white like my father was. I actually did have the complete range of emotions appropriate to different situations. It took me until literally this year, age 49, to understand that I didn't have to distrust or reject my emotions and that I didn't look monstrous to people like he did. It's all so damned confusing and circular, though. I feel like I need to go live as a hermit while this new understanding sinks in.

    Honestly so much of how you've described your own feeling's regarding anger and your perception of how others view it, your father, and yourself describes my own inner reality. The only piece missing for me would be the intense and overwhelming shame, embarrassment, or humiliation I feel at even having the feeling of anger, but even more so the emotions underneath that anger. If it makes sense I am embarrassed that I am embarrassed. Feel humiliated for feeling embarrassed, shy, excited, sad, happy, joyful, or any other emotion, in that moment. Embarrassed for being me.

Seriously, who are they to tell you what you need to do to be saved? Consider yourself SAVED! You sound like a pretty kind woman to me:) Do the things that bring you peace- watching birds and listening to music.🎶 Try adding another peaceful ritual to your day and little by little, add even more- gradually, you will feel peace and happiness more & more- you’ll be too busy enjoying the things you that bring you peaceful zen. Baby steps- I promise you will get there! Wishing you love, abundant peace and heartfelt happiness! 🌹🦜🎶

    Anger is the neurological response to a hormone. Fear is the other neurological response to another hormone that cancels it. Or the other way around. If you're scared, getting angry makes it go away. If you're angry, getting scared makes it go away. Sometimes people get programmed to where they are in a cycle of escalating them both. There are many ways to de-escalate or maintain low levels of them that have no real reason to exist. Love is one of them.

I have done boxing most my life and was always angry/confident in every conflict, sometime in the past 2 or 3 years though my anger/fight response I suppose, became a freeze response in almost any confrontation and it happens so fast that I don’t even notice it until afterwards. I have been getting so angry at myself because I feel like such a pusc now because of the split second freeze and initial panic and uncertainty it was never a problem before didn’t even cross my mind.

    My CPTSD stays active. I am afraid of letting it out or I just don't know how to let it out in a healthy way. I have made stuffing it an art form. Someone asked me how long have you felt sad, and angry. It was the first time I realized my unresolved trauma has been making me sick since the age of 3. Now 63 and trying to get help.

    Something I learned in youth that may be of value: I need to react and resolve the issue, harshly if needed, before I get so far that anger takes over. The trick here is to sense that you're about to get angry, and that if you don't do something here and now it's not going to get any better. This lets you do what you need to do in order to resolve the issue while you still have your head mounted to your shoulders, and that can be of tremendous value as you're able to think.

    Awareness is the first step. Examining every thought (thoughts are only mine if I claim them) and seeking the origins of every emotional trigger (and oh boy are there a sh*t ton of them!) has been a long, slow process, but after nearly a year and a half I can finally see progress. It's mostly been 2 steps forward then 20 steps back for me, but I'm moving forward all the same. It's a process, but we're worth it. Tim's "re-parenting" playlist was very helpful. Much Love 🙏🏻💕

    Suck up to people with more resources than you, lie, pretend to be happy and people are more likely to take pity on you and help you get where you want to go. It's despicable to have to resort to such levels but so are the people who abused you to the point you became so angry it ruined your life and left you with little credibility and resources left. Acquire resources and social capital and fake it till you make it then when you are in a good spot in life with criminal history behibd you hire the best trauma informed therapist you can buy and process your angry there in a safe space and fire any therapist who makes you feel shame for valid feelings and needs that must be processed. You can't express anger in most parts of society or in most social situations without facing consequences. It's insanely unfair because you end up suffering the karma meant for your abusers. Stick to the script, play happy, be helpful to others, take other people's sh*t, act like you are calm and emotionally regulated around other people. Journal your truth but hide your crazy from your abusers and the world. Join a support group and therapy and get to a point where you can stay regulated at work and in the public sphere it's your only chance at redemption. F*ck being honest it will only get you in trouble with abusers and the enablers, most people lie their way into civilized society. It's the unfortunate truth. When people say to love yourself and be true to your authentic self they really mean be fake be helpful and fake happy and financially stable and don't make waves don't be a burden to society don't be lazy don't be disagreeable don't get angry work hard appear intelligent and capable carry your own weight only be sad if someone else wants you feel pity for THEM or to appear normal such as grieving the loss of a pet or loved one. Play PRETEND it's what we all have to do to SURVIVE.

    In my case, I was pushed to anger as a toddler, by my sister, 8 years older, so she would get a laugh out of it. Off course, my mom would not defend, just downplay, or be disparaging. This is when my anger was used as entertainment. To them I looked funny when my sister kept pushing my buttons. I know from having resolved other issues that understanding and forgiveness (explanation follows) are the only answers. But so hard when those people still deny they did anything wrong and put it back on you. One key is in seeing oneself being wicked too in life, and to see that at that time, one was feeling good about it. Easier to understand a wrongdoer when one has been one too. Another key is to realize that we are sometimes played by wicked spirits that will come in us when we're feeble morally (in sin) and feed thru abusing other people these spirits are real, and can coordinate with one another to trap us in very bad loops till they're fed (hence the allegory of vampires) etc. etc. I will say that we need to have more precision around the vocabulary to describe the emotions. For ex. rage or fury, or contempt can be consequences of anger. One can surrender to these spirits loosing one's discernement or even consciousness for a while. A bad use of anger is a temptation to destroy ( objects, bodies ie. inflicting physical damage, reputation, self respect and dignity, tear down relations etc ). A good use of anger is to spend time to reflect and to build better, stronger love.

    Thanks... I want to add identification of need left unmet and dismissed or depressed,.smothered etc by others and then forced to do within ourselves... to the 'track and trace' from the awareness of anger either emerging/exploding from or smouldering in the lava . Anger allows me to blame everybody else... Yes.. Resentment smouldering and pressure cooked deeper into bitterness... I find tracking and tracing back to source of anger within myself... Then realising my needs unmet.. Inform me if what I need... Baby rage is something I self examine and trace to need underneath. My problem seems to be that even when I ask for help with needs underneath.. I keep meeting with people who Haven't time awareness(not able to see, admit meet their own needs ) to even 'get' or be patient with mine. Where are the people who love baby needs in adult bodies? Cos I can't seem to respond to the needs of the babe in myself where she's been sealed off in agonising isolation for decades. Been working with expressing anger with care for self and others..but when I show the faintest anger or ask for patience or boundaries or connection... I get the busy response I had as a babe. Did not have children.. Knew my absence with self and anger would be beyond my child or myself. Angry women are not ok when the anger is harmful..but I seem to attract people who are not wanting to do their own anger ownership..even when I try to work out with them what our needs are. I am dying of loneliness. People storm off if I'm not nice, caring, funny or loving enough. Agony.

They’re so very busy running around with all their activities they put their children in, they are exhausted parents who are doing exactly the wonderful job I feel I have to them. They don’t have too much extra time to spend with their very extremely ill mom, BUT THEY ARE DOING EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD WANT FOR EACH OF THEM! My anger is at my lack of ability to heal an incurable disease. But I’m so happy they are loving their family members with all their heart and soul! I’m so blessed yet I can feel angry and still very grateful for my life and family.

The safe no confronting way I had found to tell someone I am angry at them she said I am not allowed to do with her (which was to text a specific picture - which was a harmless picture as its just a map image of an actual volcano) . so I feel myself trying to rebel against these new rules and it leads to anger but it goes nowhere. Its like a person who is supposed to be helping me is harming me again. And then I explode like the volcano as she is in charge and there are no bounderies. I had to wait for my mother to actually die to get bounderies as I wasnt allowed any. And now there is this new boss. 😐

Where there is a will there is a way... but it sure doesn't feel that way when I am triggered, and I feel triggered constantly due to the fact that the red flags I l've always had are plastered everywhere all the time currently.

    We do... Every thought you have in your mind, every spirit, rises from the heart to the mind, to be set free or condemned. When the spirit of anger arises, we will do one or the other. If it is released, it will go all over trying to find a place to rest. When finds none, it returns with more. If it us condemned, it is thrown down from the internal throne, to burn up & be consumed by the fire inside our hearts, for love's name sake. It will be physically felt, & spiritually felt. There's a reason the earth has a magma center. It is to relate to our heart, & His. The heavens are over the Earth, just as the mind is over the heart. The two work the same.

    LOL spot on about anger...Anger that escalates to a black rage, may take on a life of its own and become a rampage with intervals that may last a very long time, months years. It can become a compulsion and a type of ritual in which people enjoy the chemicals the body produces during inflicting their wake of destruction. Eventually peoples behavior becomes repetitive and forms into habits, habits become their character. Then they get labels, bulldozer, bully, cruel, land shark, antisocial, narcissist, psychopath, reprobate mind, violent offended, war criminal etc.

I got my right arm free and stuck my index finger into her eye and started pulling! I just remember it felt like spaghetti and she came forward so as to not have her eye pop out! I told her to get the F #%k off me or I was going to kill her! She rolled off me immediately and I still only saw red tunnel and then went to get on her but people pulled me off her. 😮 I talked to my Dad about it later on and he said “oh ya…it’s red rage syndrome…I had it in the army and was put into the infirmary for it.” I guess there was a lot of trauma in his childhood too so it was passed down to me. As well as addictive tendencies. Being Irish and Sicilian doesn’t help I’m sure. I know Jesus is still working on me. I’m actually grateful my Dad taught us as kids self defense tactics he learned in Vietnam…I felt like they helped me not get Beatin up.

My mother actually twisted several of my bones---my left wrist and ankle, my left hip and several places on top of my head where she banged me with a hammer. This all happened before I was able to walk or talk, so the only way I found out was through two photographs I found when I was about 60, which showed me getting my wrist twisted when I was about 18 mos. old. I share this because you can imagine the rage this caused in me, and I was actually relieved to finally find out where it was coming from finally when I ran into these photos. But I never had a red rage,...,,I can't imagine what that would be like.

    I don't think it's correct to call it a misuse of anger. When it comes to wanting to control other people or intimidate them, it may come from having no control over what as children we may have deemed as life or death situations. We had the experience of our parents in a fight or flight situation, and naturally we associate that with danger. If our parents are feeling that way, that means it's dangerous for us. Life threatening. I wouldn't call it a misuse of anger because we are doing what we felt would have been helpful in situations like that in the past. Being able to control the situation or be strong enough to stop the situation would have meant safety. Biologically it makes sense that control, intimidation, manipulation, would be the way that children of chronic trauma learned to survive with that level of fear. I struggle with that myself, also the isolation. Feeling anger instead of sorrow or shame is also a survival for some of us. I wasn't allowed to be emotional even as a young girl. When my mom got overly emotional, that's when bad things would happen. When I use the word emotion in this situation I am specifically referring to sorrow, or other vulnerable expressions. Anger was a 'safe' feeling, an accepted one. So once again, I don't think this is a misuse of anger, this is adults using the survival techniques that we learned.

    I used to say " i cant let my anger go. Because it IS my very backbone" if i let it go, I will crumble. I know now that not to be true

    I constantly have to check myself and refuse to give into my generational lineage of adult temper tantrums. I watched my grandfather almost punch a woman in the face and then my dad’s anger was an homage to grandpa while he beat us and kicked his dogs. I refuse to lay a finger on my child and have to lock myself in my room while my explosive anger boils over. I pray to heal this anger so I don’t pass it on.
