Am I Dangerous? Violent Thoughts, Anger, and Feeling Stuck | Epi 154

In this episode, we return to our consolidation series, where we slow things down and take a closer look at your questions—and the patterns that begin to emerge across them. Lately, many of you have been circling around a similar experience: not just anxiety or guilt, but a deeper confusion about anger—where it went, why it feels so dark, and how it might be connected to feeling stuck in your life. What we begin to trace is a subtle but powerful shift, where anger is no longer experienced as a feeling, but as something dangerous. And as that happens, life itself can start to narrow. Early experiences shape the way anger is held internally, how it transforms into fear, and how that fear can quietly organize the limits you place on your own life.
