Women are often socialized to suppress their anger in favor of being agreeable, which can lead to self-judgment and mental health struggles such as depression. By validating their feelings and expressing anger constructively, women can advocate for their needs effectively. Mindful self-compassion can empower women to acknowledge their anger instead of internalizing it, positively impacting their mental well-being. It is crucial for women to recognize that feeling anger is natural and necessary for self-advocacy, enabling them to protect and defend themselves against harmful situations.
When we cannot identify our emotions as they are, we fail to identify what is needed.
Dr. Kristin Neff suggests that women blame themselves for getting angry to regain a sense of control. This can lead to depression.
