We’re taught that anger is something to avoid.

That it’s dangerous.

Unattractive.

Something that pushes people away.

So instead… we suppress it. We tell ourselves we’re “not an angry person.” We keep the peace. We bottle things up. But what if the real problem isn’t anger…It’s the fact we never let ourselves feel it?

In this episode of Why Do I, I’m joined by Sam Parker from GQ, who’s spent years exploring what happens when we repress anger… and the impact it has on our relationships, our anxiety, and how we show up in the world.

If you’ve ever said “I’m just not an angry person”…

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, or tense without knowing why…

If you’ve ever struggled to express how you really feel…

This episode is for you...
