Anger has a bad rap. No, we don’t need more angst or outrage in this world… but when your emotions are limited by anxiety, overwhelm, and triggers, a Motherfucker only has so many options. “Finding Peace,” and, “Believing in Bright Sides,” aren’t going to be on that list.
This is how indigence can be a useful tool to kickstart a trauma recovery journey. Git mad, git proactive, and prove that all those fuckers who held you back back before won’t hold you down forever.
By the way, I wrongly credit this idea with some flip-flopped words. For more learning, you should check Pete Walker’s “Complex Trauma; From Thriving to Surviving.” (Not the opposite. Note to self: Mind your mush mouth, MF.)
Like my new music intro/outro? Yeah, we’ll see how long it takes that cease and desist letter to arrive. Looking for community support of your pissy attitude? We’re pretty positive these days, but we’ll call your shit right out. Check it at t-mfrs.com/join. Sign up for the Discord group and get into the community of real Traumatized Motherfuckers.
