“There's a way in which when we are lost, we're consumed, we're overwhelmed by anger, we don't see any options…There's a lot of information that we lose when we're just consumed by that kind of anger. So what we want to do is really capture the energy without being so lost in it and burning up because of it.”

Struggling with overwhelm and anger? Wondering how to stay grounded in turbulent times? In this episode of Bounce Back Stronger, meditation teacher and author Sharon Salzberg answers listener questions and topics, including:

• How to distinguish anger from overwhelm
• How transforming the energy of anger can be the fire for positive change.
• Why doom scrolling is harmful and how to break the habit.
• The role of art in processing difficulty and finding hope.
• Moral injury and how to heal through love and compassion.
• Building a consistent meditation practice and its profound benefits.
• The transformative power of community and boundaries.
