Be the Ring Anger and fear feed off each other… We fear anger… We fear the anger of others We fear our own anger. We fear the anger of our children. Why? Because as children, adults feared our anger. Naturally, we learned that anger is an emotion to be feared. Well fear can be a real obstacle when trying to process and hold space for big emotions. Parents often feel fear when they see their child angry. Instead of leaning into that fear… We react with more anger… Fanning the flames, Instead of putting a fire ring around our child…. Letting them know their anger is safe to burn, Within this space. We end up being the water, the gas or even the wood… We need to try and be the ring. J.
