Anger is often thought of as a dangerous emotion. Sometimes anger just wants to be validated, and then we feel more calm. But sometimes anger is indicating a need.

For many, emotions can feel like an unwanted friend, or a fearsome stranger that we want to stay away from. But how do we even start getting in touch with our emotions?

Therapy spaces talk a lot about emotions. Therapists, therapeutic texts and the work in sessions themselves will often emphasize that getting to know your emotions leads to growth.
