Part 2 of 2:

Anger is an emotion, not a behavior - and understanding that can change everything.

In the second part of this two-part episode, Lora and Jeff dig a little deeper into the world of emotional responses, exploring how anger can be a useful guide when handled with awareness. We look into the importance of setting boundaries, befriending difficult emotions, and developing self-compassion to help navigate life.

We explore:

- Recognizing the urge to fight in stressful situations

- Why setting boundaries is a form of self-advocacy

- How anger can be beneficial when managed properly

- The importance of befriending difficult emotions instead of avoiding them

- Practical strategies for engaging with sensations and thoughts

- How self-compassion make space for emotional growth
