William reflects on his early life, believing he never experienced anger, and explores how repressing this fundamental emotion manifested as chronic anxiety. He shares the eye-opening moment when he realized that his feelings of unease were, in fact, suppressed anger—a revelation that led him to healthier self-expression and boundary-setting. William unpacks the paradox of never feeling anger and reveals how this can distort other emotions, often creating internal conflict and heightened anxiety. Through his personal journey, he explains how allowing ourselves to feel and understand anger can lead to a more balanced, assertive life. Embracing anger constructively isn’t about acting impulsively; it’s about finding clarity, responding assertively, and honouring one’s own needs while maintaining respect for others. If you’ve ever struggled with anger, or if you’re one of those who believe you don’t experience it at all, this episode offers powerful insights on balancing emotional health with stoic philosophy.
