S2E8: How Living in Anger Made Me Discover My Why? - Interview with Rick Hartley

Have you experienced being raised full of anger within the family?  When we’re angry, it’s possible to experience other feelings such as fear (of inflicting harm to ourselves or others) or disgust (for the person or thing blocking you from your goal). If you were taught that feeling anger is “bad”, you might even feel embarrassed or shameful for having felt the emotion at all. Furthermore, if you were angry and it led you to do something you considered to be inappropriate, you may feel regretful. You might think anger should be suppressed, but it can be a motivating force. Each of our emotions, including anger, plays an important role in our lives by providing us with information. To fully experience and tap into the wisdom of our emotions, we must learn how to experience discomfort. Without discomfort, there is no change and no growth. Let us listen to Rick Hartley who comes from a very violent and unstable background.  His upbringing was very violent and belittling and spent his entire childhood in fear. As he grew, the problems were obvious, but the reasons were unclear.  He spent the first of his life destroying himself and hurting the people around him.  But later on, he was able to find a reason to make significant changes in himself.  So, can anger be helpful? Let’s check it out.
