Addiction & RecoveryWhy You Love Being Angry
You say you want to move on... but I don't believe you. 🛑
Part of you loves the anger. Why? Because anger is a stimulant. It gives you a hit of adrenaline (energy) and dopamine (reward). It makes you feel strong, while grief makes you feel weak.
In this video, I explain Anger as a Secondary Emotion. Think of resentment as a "Bodyguard." He stands at the door of your heart to protect you from pain, but he's corrupt. He isn't just keeping the bad guys out; he's keeping your wife, your kids, and even God out.
Stop using your trauma as social currency. As long as it pays in validation, you'll never let it go.
