Someone wrote: “I am feeling anger, or maybe just severe frustration. It’s like those closest to me have never truly seen me.” As I see it, feeling anger is a natural phenomenon – part of the instinctive survival system. Indulging in anger is stubbornly and irresponsibly stupid. Very. Until ‘The Shift’ – anger can arise …
