“The body keeps the score” is the quote that comes to mind with this. I’ve always felt this experience as a weird mixture of anger, shame, and frustration in the physical form of heat in the back of my neck, bile at the back of my throat, and hooks in my shoulder blades.

It’s difficult to not take aim at oneself in those moments, but it’s worth it to reflect and give grace to yourself to make those moments more of a flash in the pan reaction, rather than a weight that carries on into the next iteration. 💚

Transmuting anger into a tool for self growth can be very powerful. Lately I've been working on letting go of mine in instances when it really isn't necessary. It's been a challenge, but realizing that a lot of the time, the threat I feel toward my inner peace is really something of my own invention.

Kudos, as this type of work can be difficult and messy. But the courage to contend with it is honorable and valuable. I commend you on your declaration and journey!
