The way to move past an emotion is to first allow yourself to fully feel it.
Only then can you let it go.
Simple to understand. But hard to do.
Much of our mind, and most of our culture, is designed to distract from feeling of emotions (h/t Alice Miller)
This perspective is why people learned to suppress anger.
It's a powerful and important emotion. One that is highly misunderstood but carries so much information.
It's only destructive when it's suppressed (-> rage) or directed at others.
Love your anger, friends.
