The Necessity of Honoring Rage

Marion Woodman, a disciple of Carl Jung’s, speaks on the necessity of honoring rage, our own and others’ .

__

Our culture has trouble dealing with difficult emotions. And the message we often get, implicitly and explicitly is to repress and deny them. Below are some other posts on Beyond Meds that help us reconsider the “dark emotions,” part of our inheritance as human beings.

Anger is an emotion many people have so much trouble with that what happens is that is they end up denying that it’s how they feel and also then, in turn, become unable to be present to it in others.

This is not an effective way to heal if one has good reason to be angry. In fact it becomes impossible.

Most people have good reason to be angry.

We live in a culture of abuse and trauma and we’ve all been hurt.

We also see a world where forces that feel much bigger than us are hurting many 1000s and millions of people all over the world and we are watching as our world and planet is being destroyed. So many good reasons to be angry, yes. And so many good reasons to be totally and completely aware of what is going on around us.

2025 – this is not the time to hide behind false positivity. The world needs us to be real now more than ever.

May we all find healthy ways to honor and express our rage
