What if I get angry?

19/3/2013

What does it mean, then, to love it all when anger arises? First of all, it means accepting ourselves in our emotional reaction instead of judging the anger and ourselves as not ok, or feeling guilty or even ashamed about it.
I write a column for Main Street, the English newspaper in the Laurentians, that has ‘Loving it All’ as a title. So some of you, including myself at points, must wonder whether this is a realistic proposition. Can we really love it all? And if we do, what about all the emotions and thoughts that are far from being positive, let alone loving?

So I got really pissed off today! It was over an exchange I had with a good friend of mine. The details don’t really matter. Anger showed up … and it inspired me to write about how ‘loving it all’ could apply to it.

I just want to say that I don’t have all the answers. I’m a human being learning to live her life, just as you are. I’m also a therapist, counselor and workshop leader, helping others to live their life better and less painfully. So I spend more time dealing with and reflecting on these themes than most people, and that’s certainly a qualifying mark. But the fact that I can have quite a temper myself is probably even more à propos. I know what I’m talking about!
