For way too long we have been silenced.
For way too long we have been judged.
For way too long we have been ‘good’.
➡️ You’re being dramatic!
➡️ It’s your hormones!
➡️ Is it that time of the month again?
➡️ Did you sleep well?
Cue all the questions that can insinuate we are overreacting, being dramatic, and couldn’t just be moving through the energy of rage and anger that’s surfacing from years of bypassing and compartmentalizing.
This super moon has got me 😭🤬😮💨😵💫. Anyone else?
Resisting to allow the anger to discharge (good ole conditioning) I finally found a creative outlet and fuck did I feel relief almost immediately. Be sure to head to my IG accout: @candice_west to watch my 10-second reel that will be a lifesaver if you also are experiencing these heavy energies!
Now, I sat with self over the last few days so I understand and KNOW where this is coming from. I see why it is bubbling to the surface, and I understand why I have the urge to resist it.
Growing up, as you may have read in my new #1 Bestselling book: Permission Granted (grab it here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHJG4QRB) a life lived experiencing domestic violence has made me feel like it is unsafe to release anger .... hitting, smashing, throwing, yelling, all of that I witnessed as a young kid so for me, I have coupled all of that as 'bad' 'not safe' 'not healthy'.
Expressing in that way feels scary and my body wants to run, hide, even constricts and is guarded. So, working through it with a series of questions, curiosity, journaling, and being present in this now moment to differentiate my realities of past and present, since of course the body doesn't know the difference between the two. It allows me to give myself permission in this now moment to process and discharge in a way that feels safe to me.
❌No bypassing here!❌
So, if you need it, here’s your permission slip to get angry. To feel. To release. To heal that part of you. Remember what Carl Jung says: What you resist, persists.
Start getting curious about what is coming up for you. Getting to the root to excavate it is so much more healthier than just pretending it's not there. Your body doesn't need to hold onto it any longer.
If you need help or support, reach out! I do offer free 30-minute consultations, you can book here:
Be sure to save or share - you never know who could use this or when anger will emerge. Having this readily available will not only be a reminder, but a permission slip that feeling, releasing, and processing anger is totally healthy!
Don't forget to grab a copy of my book if you haven't yet, the feedback so far, I hear it is relatable and helpful.
