For me it's vice versa. Rage and anger are a black hole. The emotion/s that must not be felt or even named. Anger was a taboo, simply didn't exist when I grew up. So there is a lot of fear and guilt and other stuff that covers the anger. So that I never get close enough to feel my primary anger about some things in life. For me the task ahead seems to be to slowly get in touch with this anger. Allowing myself this anger. Because this is closely tied to allowing myself to be.
Thanks for this!
