Maladaptive Anger versus Empowered Anger with Sibling Estrangement

Brothers, Sisters, Strangers: A Podcast on Sibling Estrangem... by Ali-John Chaudhary, Psychotherapist and Fern Schumer Chapman, Author

Episode notes

Anger is a primary emotion which appears when we experience an injustice or our goals are thwarted. Maladaptive anger often feels unwarranted, unmanageable, and unresolved. This type of anger can mask a range of feelings, such as shame, fear, sadness, frustration, and disappointment; it is a secondary reaction to protect from fully feeling hurt. On the other hand, empowered anger fuels assertiveness, challenges self-blame, and helps combat shame. Empowered anger is productive, harnessing these powerful emotions to make changes in a life or even in the world. This episode explores how to transform maladaptive anger into empowered anger, especially when it comes to siblings.
