#8: Why Anger is Good

BREAK UP BESTIE
About this episode

In this episode I talk about the role of anger in a break up- and mainly why it's a very healthy emotion and a necessary step in the healing process. We also talk about how we can bring anger to the surface so it doesn't turn into a resentment and some healthy coping skills to deal with anger in a productive way.
