A Case of Unbridled Rage

Expand Your Ability: Embodiment, Somatics, and Feldenkrais

When big emotions sweep through you, what do you do? How do you handle them?

Big emotions like rage can lead us to destroying the relationships that are important to us.

This episode explores the story of one of my students, Shahryar, who has a history of 'pent-up' aggression. This aggression led him to make choices he later regrets. He attempted to deal work out those feelings through forceful exercise. He 'smashed and mashed' the bad feelings out of himself. But that led to more problems. Through our Feldenkrais® Awareness Through Movement classes together, he has found a new resource for himself.

What you will hear in this episode:

• Shahryar's new resource for being with difficult emotions.
• Once again, how we do one thing is how do everything.
• the limitations for forcefully fixing ourselves.
• a difficult history of rage that can change.
• what's behind the rage...
• the importance of offering learning through direct experience.
• the importance of the metaphors we use in describing our emotional experience.
