Anger isn't a fire that will burn you... it's the fire of a lamp that shines a light on what needs tending. I adore when my clients move into anger -- it tells me they're doing the big, down in the trenches work of healing from the ground up. They're realizing their worth and what actions they need to take to ensure the people around them recognize their gifts too. If you're not yet in touch with your own anger, it's time!
