How Somatic Work Transforms Anger
Anger has a way of taking over — in the body, in the breath, in the nervous system.
Sometimes it’s explosive. Sometimes, it goes silent and sharp.
Sometimes, we don’t even realize it’s there until it manifests as tension, irritability, or a complete shutdown.
Most of us weren’t taught how to be with anger.
We were taught to avoid it, apologize for it, or let it boil until it spilled out sideways.
But anger isn’t something to fear — it’s something to feel.
Anger Isn’t the Enemy
At its core, anger is an alert.
It says: “Something isn’t right.”
It shows up when boundaries are crossed, values are threatened, or something we care about has been ignored.
The goal isn’t to “get rid of” anger.
The goal is to build enough capacity in the body to listen to it without fear or overwhelm.
And that’s where somatic work comes in.
Somatic Work Brings You Back to Self-Trust
Somatic work brings you back to self-trust and safety — allowing anger to have a voice without fear or overwhelm.
It helps you notice how anger manifests in your body—not just what you think about it, but how it lives in your breath, posture, jaw, and gut.
You begin to relate to it differently.
Not as a problem to fix but as a message to receive.
Instead of reacting from anger, you begin responding with clarity.
Anger as a Creative Force
Anger holds a lot of energy.
When ignored, it can be destructive.
But when moving through the body with intention, that energy becomes fuel.
Fuel for a decision. A boundary. A new direction. A conversation you’ve been avoiding.
It becomes something that creates, not just something that burns.
This Is What I Do
In my practice, I support people who want to stop suppressing their emotions or spinning out in them.
People are ready to build a relationship with their bodies that feels honest, safe, and steady—even in moments of intensity.
Anger included.
Through somatic work, we don’t push feelings away or force control.
We slow down, build capacity, and learn to respond from a rooted—not reactive—place.
If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect.
