Why Do I Feel So Angry | Therapy & Theology

Even if you don't consider yourself an "angry person," we have all experienced situations that get us fired up...or even fed up. The truth is our feelings are trying to tell us something. So rather than just "manage" our anger, we can interview our anger and find out what's going on and what needs to be tended to.
This episode is a part of the newest season of Therapy & Theology: "You Asked ... We're Answering." Through podcast reviews, direct messages on social media, and more, Lysa TerKeurst; Licensed Professional Counselor Jim Cress; and Proverbs 31 Ministries' Director of Theological Research, Dr. Joel Muddamalle, collected your most asked questions. Now they're spending an entire season answering!

This is so good! Thank you so much from someone who has been desperate to seek counseling but does not feel comfortable because I can’t find the right counselor. This is a true blessing Lisa!

[@OfficialProverbs31Ministries]

We're so glad you're here!

2:59 that part. We just want someone to hear us. We wanna talk about something that nobody else does and feeling unheard is enough to drive someone to complain about literally anything else. 🙃

Just found you last night after an explosive episode with my husband who may be a narcissist. I already watched 4-5 videos and subscribed!! This channel has already gave me some calm to regulate

[@OfficialProverbs31Ministries]

We're saddened to hear of your story, friend, but are glad these videos came at a time you needed them!

[@dybounds]

@Tamialuvsu01 - Check out @KrisReece she has been so helpful to me dealing with my (now ex) covert narcissist husband. Prayers for you as you navigate. I KNOW how hard it is! ♥

[@angelam.1416]

Great episode! Dr. Joel, no apologies needed. You typically have the least speaking time for most episodes, but all your inputs are solid gold!

[@Rugirl97]

This spoke deeply to my heart. The hurt and frustration from another leaves such unforgiveness. But to really grasp that I’m just the victim of their jealousy. This allows me to see that person with different eyes and for what they can’t see. BUT GOD…will use this for His good plan. Thank you all for speaking such TRUTH!

[@deannabanana9344]

[@hereim5648]

This is true. I have found out living in USA with American husband that people in Western countries make small things big. Lot of pride and selfishness is in western society.

[@Victoria-wz7qo]

Yes, much truth to it. I think it is based on culture that is very much new to the world and in the stage of infancy to the world. Humbleness comes with age....and much afflictions, that America has not experienced yet as opposed to other nations

[@cindyrobinson3882]

Yes, as an American, I didn't realize how blessed we are as a nation, until I went thru cancer treatments (alone). We take so much for granted. While going thru cancer treatments, I was seeing a therapist here in America. The therapist was from another country where his mother was battling cancer, but in their country, she couldn't even get a cat scan. I am so grateful & blessed. I lost my husband/bf from divorce, lost my new home, my 16 yr career ended in merger, my mother passed (cancer). Shortly after those losses, I was a single mom, working 2 jobs. My only child, became my 18 yr old prodigal child. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, dbl mastectomy, 9 mos chemo, radiation, 21 surgeries from chemo damage. Lost everything. My pastor reminded me to read Job. I haven't seen my married daughter or my 3 grandchildren. My prodigal daughter will be 38 soon. I'm still trusting God to restore everything the enemy has taken from me. (Going thru cancer treatments alone, I ate saltine crackers for 6 days bcuz I had nobody to feed me. I praise God everyday that HE gives me life!! So I will honor & praise Him thru the storms of life. The enemy is always at work, but God is in Control!! Jesus suffered far worse than what any of us has suffered.....so that we may have life abundantly with Him in Heaven. 🙏 😊
