Healthy Anger vs Narcissistic Rage (S5 Ep.3)

There is such a thing as Healthy Anger — but if you grew up around narcissistic rage, that can feel hard to believe.In this solo episode, I untangle the belief many adult children of narcissistic parents carry: the learned belief that anger is dangerous, destructive, or something to fear within yourself. When anger was only ever modelled as explosive outbursts or cold withdrawal, it makes sense that your system learned to shut it down entirely — or to associate it with shame.I explore the crucial difference between anger, aggression, and rage. My hope is that you’ll begin to see anger —  not as something that turns you into “them” — but as a clean, protective signal from your nervous system. A signal that something matters. That something isn’t right. That something is wrong or unfair or unjustified. Our Healthy Anger signals to us that we deserve care, respect, and boundaries. That we exist. That we matter.I also look at narcissistic rage — what drives it, why it feels so destabilising, and why it was never actually about you.This is a steady, clarifying conversation about reclaiming anger as something safe, informative, and deeply self-respecting. Not something to act out — but something you’re allowed to feel.Quiz - "Are You Really Going From Zero to Ten?"Find out where you're actually starting fromBEYOND SURVIVAL - The Therapy Podcast
