Episode 8: Understanding Rage Crying – Paperclips & Periods Podcast
In this episode, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera and Katie Krych talk about rage crying—when anger and tears happen at the same time.
They explain how anger is often a secondary emotion, covering deeper feelings like hurt, exhaustion, or feeling unheard. When emotions build up, the body may release them through crying. The hosts discuss how the brain and nervous system respond to stress, and how fight or flight can make emotions feel overwhelming. Crying can help the body reset and return to balance. They also connect rage crying to everyday stressors like parenting, relationships, work demands, and the mental load. Past experiences can also influence how emotions show up.
The episode includes simple strategies such as grounding, taking space, using healthy outlets, and setting boundaries. It closes with a box breathing exercise and a reminder that strong emotions are human and deserve understanding.
