Episode 137: Anger reflection

The response to our anger episode was one of the most moving we have ever received. In this reflection we hear from parents who grew up around anger they couldn't name and are working hard not to repeat those patterns, from a dad who recognised himself in his own mother's rage during the most vulnerable weeks of early parenthood, from someone who works with young people in custody for whom anger became the only language they knew, and from a listener whose message stopped us in our tracks. An occupational therapist shares some powerful practices for going slow and meeting our kids where they are. We are also reminded in our closing that anger and love often live much closer together than we think. Thank you for your extraordinary honesty and courage in sharing. We hope this one helps.
