What’s your anger trying to say?

What is your anger trying to tell you?

I don’t know about you but I can go from 0-60 in annoyance in a matter of moments. 

But am I actually angry?

Last week one of my clients shared an insight: when they are angry, it is actually a sign for them to ask for what they need. 

Yeah, let’s pause right there. Anger isn’t necessarily anger. It is an opportunity to get curious. 

The example they used is  they used to get angry about their partner taking a long time to get going once they parked for a hike. The partner needed to change shoes, and my client used to stand around waiting for them, all the while getting cold, which then fueled their annoyance at the partner. This time, when they parked for their hike, my client announced that they were going to wait in the car, where it was warm, while the partner got themself ready. 

This is an amazing breakthrough! Seeing anger as an opportunity to assess what it is we really need instead of just railing along with the anger and lashing out!

Mind-blowing, isn’t it! 

And this is one of the parts I really love about coaching: I benefit from the wisdom my clients discover and share with me.

So, I invite you to get curious: what could anger really be trying to help you achieve? 

What needs do you get to bring forward and acknowledge? 

As you play with this, let me know what breakthroughs you have. I love celebrating with you!
