100: Summer Series: Codependency and Anger with Michelle Farris
Does this sound familiar?
Your relationships are not where you want them to be?
You're saying yes a lot to things you don’t really want to do?
You feel resentful a lot of the time
You find yourself irritated, frustrated and impatient often?
There could be a chance that you have suppressed your anger and it's leaking out which slowly erodes our happiness our authentic expression and our joy.
On the show today, I have anger management specialist and psychotherapist Michelle Farris explaining the connection between codependency and anger.
Michelle was a former pro at stuffing her anger. Through examining her own relationships, she noticed that she wasn't being fully honest-she was stuffing her truth and not sharing the things that hurt her. She became aware that eventually old resentments and hurts would leak out only causing more damage to the relationship.
Now Michelle helps others to move through anger and heal codependency so they can create healthy relationships without sacrificing their big hearts.
