Sarai shares a raw story about a blow-up with her parents after years of swallowing anger — and how her body went full fight mode. She breaks down the science of what happens in your nervous system when anger has nowhere to go and guides you through four somatic exercises to give it a safe exit.
Quick Episode Map:
- Story: Confronting family over racist, bigoted talk → the build-up → the explosion.
- Science: Anger = amygdala alarm + fight/flight response. If you don’t release it, your body holds it as the “new normal.”
- 4 Somatic Exercises:
- Palm Press – Ground yourself with steady pressure to release tension.
- Anger Hammer – Slam clasped hands into pillows with sound.
- Angry Music Flail – Stomp, shake, and move to loud, heavy music.
- Scream It Out – Primal vocal release into a pillow or car.
- Grounding Ritual: Hands on heart + belly, slow breath, safety affirmations.
Key Takeaway: Anger isn’t bad — it’s a signal. Completing the stress cycle lets you keep the message without carrying the poison.
