Life After Diets


Aug 21, 2024

In this episode, we explore the complex emotion of anger. We discuss how anger can be a suppressed emotion (and create conditions for bingeing and restricting) because sometimes, it's an emotion we are afraid to feel. On the other hand, it can be a high-energy emotion that just takes a lot of wrangling to keep regulated!
 
For the first time ever on this podcast, we actually discuss -- live, and without pre-planning -- a recent personal conflict between us when we went to Bournemouth for a workshop. In real time, we hope to demonstrate the importance of rupture and repair in relationships.
 
This episode also touches upon the interplay of helplessness and anger, the significance of understanding physical responses to emotions, and strategies for managing these intense feelings.
