Residual Emotional Energy

Rage is the energy of anger that has been repressed, bottled-up, swallowed, stuffed and stored in the body for so long that it becomes toxic. When this residual energy is discharged in "safe," sane ways then the response time to things, people or situations that make us angry is decreased. In the old, old days we had safe outlets like theater, real drama, real comedy just to name a few that would let us discharge and dissipate pent up emotions. Rage released in ways that hurt no one is one of the best remedies for getting current with your emotional life and increases well-being.

My blog has 51 other lessons about anger and much more as does my book The Anger Solution. I appreciate your time and support.

glowing review from library journal

"In his 15th book, Lee (The Flying Boy: Healing the Wounded Man ) sets forth a syllabus for improving relationships through a step-by-step program to deal with long-buried anger and rage. By differentiating between the two, readers can identify troublesome and defining events from their own histories that unseated their well-being. Perhaps the most insightful portion of the book is Lee's chapter on passivity, which he describes as one of the most toxic and overlooked traits often found in unhealthy relationships. Reading this book would be a pragmatic first step for someone seeking to manage his or her anger and forge deeper connections with others. Although it appeals to men and women, men may particularly find Lee's exploration of cultural implications of masculinity valuable."
