This week host Renae Johnson (they/them) and OSTC therapist Debbie Whyte (she/her) explore if rage can be healthy. Feeling overwhelmed by rage? You’re not alone. For many of us in the LGBTQ+ community, anger is tied to lived experiences of discrimination.
In this episode we answer:
Ugh I get so angry. Sometimes I just need to scream. Is this ok?
Can rage help me feel motivated? Sometimes it’s the only thing that gets me going.
I have lived with depression and rage for a lot of my life. It’s who I am and I don’t want to give that up. Is therapy supposed to change me?
The world is turned against queer and trans people and I am just infuriated all the time. I feel like my rage is controlling me but there’s so much to be upset about!
My partner only listens to me if I yell at them. And they REALLY piss me off sometimes. Is it healthy to freak out on them when I’m upset? It’s just me being authentic about how I feel.
Join us as we unpack and embrace rage as an important part of the human experience. What healthy outlets do you use to process these emotions?
