Most of the women I work with who are stuck in people-pleasing mode, have difficulty expressing, or even locating the emotion of anger. There is a link. A very important one. Seeing as anger is a life-force energy designed to protect and alert the system that something is wrong, not being able to access or
You don’t, is the short answer. First of all, the phrase “aging gracefully” just pisses me off. Why? Because it sends a message that women are supposed to age in smooth, flowing, ballet dancer style.
