How do I relax when I am angry?

May 19, 2015 By Daniel Davis 6 Comments

If you have some trouble controlling your anger, you are normal. Anger has enormous power that over shadows our clear thinking and our desire to do good. Academic studies identify it as the hardest of emotions to master. Most adults do not master anger until after age 50 – if ever. Anger can lead to heart disease and cancer.

We typically get angry when someone blocks us from our goals, lies to us, or unjustly hurts someone. Fear is an emotional signal that danger is near. Anger is a signal someone is crossing into our territory – physically or psychologically. Yet there is an upside to anger, because anger gets us moving. Anger and depression are incompatible states.

Play is the natural way we let go of our unpleasant emotions and heal. Children naturally play through a conflict they experience. Play is the natural way we let go of tension and heal. During authentic play, we are spontaneous, unselfconscious, and non-competitive as well as lose track of time. Playing is part of what it means to be human. Schiller says, (woman or) “man is completely human only when (she or) he is at play.”

Using simple movements, natural to us as children that we have been taught to suppress as grown-ups, Laura Lund. offers us ways to cope with anger. Laura Lund is certified as a Somatic Counselor and Educator with Zapchen Somatics. In this video, Laura Lund demonstrates technique to change our emotional state with childlike body movements and sounds – raspberries, horse lips, and stomping.

    Great article! Anger is the hardest emotion to feel and deal with. When I get too angry I burst into tears which people associate with sadness. But, I am not sad. I am overwhelmed and don’t know how to contain the heat within my body. Laura Lund is spectacular and such a good guiding light!

      Laurel, I think Laura Lund’s teaching of Zapchen is brilliant! Zapchen always worked to change the way my body felt. I think Laura’s work is a great gift. Our videos present only a small sampling of her talents; my experience of doing Zapchen with Laura in person was fun, educational, and healing. Thank you for your insightful comments.
