What’s your move when anger overrides your mind? Can you connect?

What’s your move when anger overrides your mind? Can you connect?

I had a mad woman inside of me. She was ravenous for retribution. Angry at the injustice, pulling the rope so hard her hands were raw and swollen. Under it all she was just afraid to let go. To trust, to lower her weapons, to feel what the anger was covering.
I met her where she was, I turned inside and asked her what she needed. How could I help soothe this rage?
My little self then appeared and curled up into my arms.
The mad woman sat down, realizing she was only pulling against her own pain. Letting go, she sat with her head in her hands, not in defeat, but in relief.

It is never too late to give yourself what you needed.
Recognize what you need without judgment and then give yourself exactly that.
My past made me hard, abandonment gave me resilience, trauma showed me my strength. None of that means I have to carry it all with me, unpack, come undone, sit with it and show up for yourself the way you wish others would have.
Give yourself what you need to be heard, to matter, to feel safe.

Then do it again and again. Turn toward your freedom. 
Be love, let me know if I can help!
